EARL GREY GELATO
Earl Grey is not an entirely exotic flavor, and you can find Earl Grey truffles or chocolates in the City, but surprisingly, you don’t see much Earl Grey ice cream around. I love Earl Grey tea, particularly with milk, so an Earl Grey gelato is like a dream come true. The flavor is nicely subtle and forceful at the same time. There’s just the right amount of Earl Grey aroma in the initial bite and then it leaves a kick of the strong tea flavor in the aftertaste. Instead of the usual milk tea that I have in the afternoons, I could easily substitute this gelato so that I wouldn’t need any sweets to go with my tea — it would all be in one package.
