What is Earl Grey Milk Tea Pudding?
Earl Grey Milk Tea pudding is a cold jello-like pudding made with earl grey tea leaves steeped in sweetened milk. It's jiggly in texture and fun to eat as you get the flavors of the creamy earl grey milk tea. Furthermore, earl grey tea is made of black tea leaves flavored with bergamot orange oil making it fragrant and absolutely delicious! This serves well as a delicious dessert and you can make it in advance for guests because it can be stored in the fridge.
If you're an earl grey tea lover, this is a fun chilled dessert to try! This was inspired by earl grey milk tea that you can order at the bubble tea shops except there are no bobas. But if you wish to add sweet bobas on top, that's totally doable!

I used 1/2 teaspoon of gelatin instead of agar agar and it was not hard. i would recommend using 1 teaspoon of gelatin.

I made this, and it tastes amazing, but I ran into a weird issue. The pudding separated into two weird layers of what looked like the oat solids on top one cloudy clear liquid on the bottom. Could this be a result of the oat milk brand, or maybe I used the agar agar wrong?

Thank you for making my recipe Elle! Hmm that's an odd issue! But it sounds like it's the oat milk itself if there are oat solids. The brand I used is Earth's Own Oat Milk. The other thing I could think of is that after mixing the agar agar powder into the earl grey milk tea liquid, it wasn't mixed enough so when it was poured into the cup the liquid separated? But honestly it sounds like it the was oat milk. Let me know if the issue persists again with a different oat milk! - Christie

I love recipes with five ingredients or less which give you a nice little twist on otherwise standard pantry or fridge ingredients and end up looking and tasting absolutely amazing. This looks like one such recipe - and I love it! Now I definitely need to get myself some of that agar agar!
