In a small saucepan, combine pitted cherries with a splash of water. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, until the cherries soften and release their juices.

Bring a cup of water to a boil in a kettle. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

Lower the heat under the cherry mixture and stir in your milk of choice. If using a cinnamon stick, add it now. Gently warm through.

Remove the cherry mixture from the heat and drizzle in vanilla syrup. Strain the mixture into your steeped Earl Grey tea.

Pour your finished Cherry Earl Grey Milk Tea into clear glass mugs. Enjoy it hot or let it cool and serve over ice.
