Milk should never be put into Earl Grey.

It should be d*unk black to savour the aromatic bergamot.

It is served with a slice of orange. Never lemon.

Surely, if you like something a certain way, convention can go hang.

black here, never milk in earl grey. Traditionally served with lemon or orange... and they now do 2 lovely other blends of earl grey - lady grey (orange) and sunshine grey (lemon)

Mind I drink any tea black as I detest milk!

Buy fairly liquid instead - lasts longer, tastes the same.

Depends on my mood, sometimes with milk sometimes without ....... same with Lady Grey.

Oh my, no....

Just black is how one would traditionally take Earl Grey but as with everything else these days, anything goes.

I take breakfast tea black with lime or lemon.

Very civilized indeed....

Some research suggests that introducing milk into black tea suppresses the tannin content to some extent. Tannin, in tea, is supposed to be good for you.

Don't like Earl Grey - too wishy washy for me. I much prefer a good strong Assam.

Milk? In Earl Grey? If you're going to kill of the bergamot why not just drink Tetley's?

Except its so much nicer than Tetleys, just couldn't do it black. I like Lady Grey too just find it not as strong flavoured as Earl Grey

Always a splash of skimmed milk in mine. Doesn't seem to diminish the taste of the bergamot for me. However, I recently discovered Chocolate Tea, and has been by cuppa of choice since.
