Information about Earl Grey tea:
- Earl Grey tea (Count tea) primarily consists of high-quality Ceylon tea, combined with the flavor of oil from the peel of Bergamot orange. Many tea connoisseurs believe that Earl Grey tea is a blend of the bitter orange flavor from the Mediterranean with the lemon flavor from Southeast Asia.
- The astringency of Earl Grey tea is at a medium level, with a distinctive strong aroma.
- Earl Grey tea is a widely popular type of tea in England, but this tea is not entirely a product of England. Many opinions suggest that this tea originated from China. The history of the origin of Earl Grey tea explains that the name of the tea is named after Count Charles Grey – Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1830 – 1834). While serving as ambassador in China, he accidentally added Bergamot orange essence to black tea, creating a special aroma for the tea. Additionally, some people believe that black tea combined with famous Bergamot essential oil helps balance the spirit and health, hence the name Earl Grey.
Tips for keeping soft tapioca pearls fresh and not hard:
- After boiling, use a sieve to remove the tapioca pearls, soak them in cold water or rinse under running water to prevent them from sticking, then mix the pearls with brown sugar syrup, and finally keep them warm in a rice cooker (warm-up mode). This method will help keep your pearls soft and not hard for up to one day.
- To preserve the tapioca pearls for longer, place them in a tightly sealed container or a plastic bag sealed on top, and then put them in the refrigerator. With this method, the pearls can last 3 – 4 days without spoiling.
- When you want to use them, just boil the tapioca pearls again and use them. However, if you want delicious pearls, you should make and eat them immediately.
