Mariage Frères Earl Grey Impérial Tea Jelly

Tea-Flavored Gelée made with Earl Grey Impérial

Earl Grey Impérial Tea Jelly—from iconic French tea house Mariage Frères—is still made the old fashioned way from the Mariage family's 19th century recipe. Cane sugar and a Earl Grey Impérial black tea infusion is combined with fruit pectin and a touch of lemon juice, and then slowly cooked in a copper bain-marie. The result? A silky, aromatic jelly with sweet, delicate notes of Darjeeling black tea and citrusy bergamot.

Enjoy slathered on a warm scone topped with clotted cream. Or warm in a pan until melted and use as a syrup or a glaze—drizzle on vanilla-scented Pain Perdu, brush over a fresh fruit tart to finish or add a teaspoon to a glass of Crémant for a sparkling tea cocktail.
