# Instructions:

In a small pan, cook the cherries with a splash of water (about 2 tbsp) over low heat for a few minutes until softened. Gently press to get the juices out.

Heat 1 cup of water to boil. Let the Earl Grey sit in the water for 3-5 minutes. Then take out the bag or strain it if using loose leaves.

Mix the milk into the cherry mixture in the saucepan, including the optional cinnamon stick if you like. Stir gently while heating.

Pour some vanilla syrup into the milk-cherry blend. In a cup, mix together the brewed tea and strained milk mixture. Push the cherries to get all that juice out. Stir everything around.

Serve right away while it's hot. Or, let it cool and add ice if you're in the mood for a chilled version. You can toss some cherries or a cinnamon stick on top to make it look fancy.
