To make the lilac milk, trim the blossoms from the stems and tightly pack them in a one cup measure.
Place the milk in a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer on medium heat.
Once the milk is simmering, add the lilac blossoms and simmer for about 2 or 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes while you brew the tea.
Boil a kettle of water for the tea, and steep for a good 5 minutes or so.
While the tea steeps, pour the milk through a fine mesh strainer set over a small bowl to strain out the lilac blossoms.
Pour 1/4 cup of the milk into a tea cup, add the lilac sugar or plain granulated sugar, and foam the milk if you have a frother.
You can either pour your tea over the milk and sugar, or pour your tea into another cup and pour the milk over the top. Enjoy!

Be sure to use organically grown lilacs from a source that you know does not use any pesticides or chemicals.

Plain granulated sugar may be used if you do not have lilac sugar. Recipe for Lilac Sugar may be found in my Make Your Own Lilac Syrup and Lilac Sugar post.

You can use heavy cream in place of whole milk.

Another type of black tea may be substituted for Earl Grey.
