Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
2 bags or 2 tsp Earl Grey tea
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk (tea-infused)
Instructions
1. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until steaming, then steep the Earl Grey tea for 10 minutes. Remove tea and let milk cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm tea-infused milk with granulated sugar and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
3. Add eggs, melted butter, and salt. Stir in flour gradually until a dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
4. In a bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, finely ground tea or steeped tea liquid, and vanilla until smooth.
5. Roll dough into a rectangle, spread filling evenly, and roll tightly. Slice into 12 rolls and place in greased dish. Let rise for 30–40 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden. Let cool slightly.
7. Whisk cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and tea-infused milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
Notes
These are best served warm but can be reheated.
Use high-quality Earl Grey for strongest flavor.
Let the tea steep fully for rich infusion.
