Chef's Notes
Infusing the milk directly with the tea leaves ensures the floral bergamot flavor permeates every single bite of the dough.
Pro Tip
Ensure your milk is lukewarm, not hot, or you will accidentally retire your yeast permanently before the party even starts.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the raw donuts into oil that is smoking hot will instantly incinerate the outside while leaving the inside as gooey as raw batter, resulting in an embarrassing culinary crime scene.

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the Earl Grey donut go to therapy? Because it felt completely steeped in existential dread.
The Culinary Science
Yeast ferments sugars to produce carbon dioxide gas, which gets trapped in the gluten network, creating the light, airy crumb of a proper donut.

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.
