Chef's Notes
Infusing the milk directly with high-quality loose-leaf tea ensures a deep, aromatic bergamot flavor that artificial extracts simply cannot replicate.
Pro Tip
Maintain your oil temperature precisely around 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Too hot, and the outside burns while the raw dough mocks you from within; too cool, and you get an oily sponge!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the dough into boiling oil that is far too hot, resulting in charred charcoal rings on the outside and raw, sticky batter disaster on the inside.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
