Equipment

Ingredients

200 ml boiling water
1 lady grey teabag*
1-2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
Orange segments, optional

Instructions

Brew the lady grey tea in a teapot until it’s strong in flavour and colour. It will get slightly diluted by the ice cream so you can let it steep for a little longer than you usually would.
200 ml boiling water, 1 lady grey teabag*
Add the ice cream scoop to a cup or glass and pour over the tea.
1-2 scoops vanilla bean ice cream
Garnish with an orange segment, if you’re feeling fancy.
Orange segments
Enjoy!

Notes

I use lady grey tea so I can recreate the citrus flavour of the affogato I had back in South Korea, but you can easily just use black tea. Mint tea would work quite well too, perhaps swapping out the orange garnish for a lemon segment. A chai tea with vanilla ice cream and honey would be lovely for winter afternoons, or pair it with thicker matcha or sencha, either with vanilla or perhaps even coconut ice cream.
