Instructions

Brew a strong cup of Earl Grey tea and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Add the chilled Earl Grey tea, milk, peeled banana, pure vanilla extract, and fine sea salt to a high-speed blender.
Add the ice cubes to the blender.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk or chilled tea if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Using a ripe banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess, enhancing the smoothie’s texture and flavor. Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
