@ghost-of-a-duke saidearl gray sucks the bergamot boogy...
Sigh.
Milk in Earl Grey will not only curdle (due to containing a citrus fruit – oil of bergamot) but you will also taint and arguably obliterate the subtle nuances of the drink. What next, mustard in your cucumber sandwiches?
you've now gone from a four and a half star person to two stars...

he's prepared sir to turn to crime,
to make Earl Grey more palatable,
he even poured it out in rhyme.
Bergamont sir is beautiful,
it's fragrant and full of zest,
although it may cause flatulence
it puts hairs upon yer chest.

@shallow-blue saidLemon tea is a great tea! π
Beware! If you put milk in Earl Grey and it doesn't curdle, it wasn't real Earl Grey. Ditto for lemon tea.

But real lemon tea, like real Earl Grey, contains real citrus juice with real citric acid, which will curdle real milk.
Of course, if you drink fake (soy or almond) milk, it probably won't, so you can put that in as much as you like. Still disgusting, though. Milk is for Assam, Java or Kenya, brewed double strong.
