Instructions

In a small saucepan, simmer cherries and water for about 5 minutes until soft. Mash lightly to release flavor.
Add milk, vanilla syrup, and cinnamon stick (if using) and warm gently without boiling. Strain if a smooth texture is desired.
Steep Earl Grey tea in boiling water for 3–5 minutes. Remove tea bag or strain leaves.
Combine warm cherry-infused milk with brewed tea. Stir gently to blend.
Serve hot in a warmed cup or let cool and pour over ice for a chilled version. Garnish with cherries or cinnamon stick if desired.

Notes

Use frozen cherries if fresh are unavailable—thaw before using.
Customize sweetness with more or less syrup or a sugar substitute.
Can be served hot or iced based on preference.
Optional cinnamon stick adds warming spice—skip if preferred.
