When I lived in Brooklyn, I loved going to Van Leeuwen’s for their Earl Grey ice cream. I miss it. One day, I was bored and creative and made a delicious milkshake that kinda resembles the flavor of that ice cream. BTW, Earl Grey tea has bergamot which is a citrus fruit like an orange, so I thought the orange sherbet would go well and it did.  I initially published this on Cucumbertown, but since they are shutting down, I am reposting here.

Ingredients:

• 1 Earl Grey Tea bag of Twinings
• 8 oz of  Almond milk
• 2 scoops of Orange sherbet
• 1 Frozen banana
• 1/2 tablespoon of orange zest
