Earl Grey Waffles

I'm really more of a savory breakfast person. But there's something about fresh waffles that just makes it for me. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The taste of butter… hmmm…. But I digress.

I'd been craving Earl Grey goodies for a couple of weeks, and I figured it would totally work as a waffle concept. I'm not going to lie: this recipe was a success! I'm very happy with the subtle tea flavor of the waffle, which could even be enhanced by adding ground leaves in the batter. I didn't have any on hand, but maple syrup would totally kill on top of those babies!

So easy, few ingredients, very quick and absolutely divine with a freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and orange slices.

Oh, and if you don't have a waffle-maker, just make pancakes! ;)

Bon appetit!!
