Notes
You can use your favorite earl grey tea just be sure it is naturally flavored with the real essence of bergamot oil.
When a natural oil is used it will say ‘oil of bergamot’ or ‘bergamot essential oil’. Natural bergamot has a subtle but intense flavor.
Don't think you have to wait for blackberries to be in season. You can use fresh or frozen blackberries.
