Notes

From an old Food and Wine recipe, which lists "black tea" as optional -- I didn't have any regular black teas -- my boys insist on getting their favorite Earl Grey all the time -- and I didn't think bergamot would go very well with the spices. It's like a milky variation of Filipino salabat.
