Surprisingly light and fragrant, these gluten and dairy free waffles won’t last long on the breakfast table. They store well in the fridge or freezer, so if you plan on stashing any you might want to double the recipe. Here the Earl Grey tea is both brewed and finely ground before adding to the waffle batter. There’s a little orange juice added which gives these waffles a subtle sweetness—you can stir in some orange zest too if you want a more pronounced orange flavor. If you ever come across fresh bergamot, use the zest in here for a more pronounced “Earl Grey” flavor.
