The marmalade really added a nice zip to the tea! I used green tea with a hint of orange, which was really enhanced by the marmalade. Thanks for sharing!

Loved this! I used 4 reg Earl Grey bags to the 5 cups of water, used the 1/2 cup marmalade and suger/lemon as the recipe called for. Enjoyed most of the pot by myself. Made for my Comfort Cafe "Oh You TEAse!" tag game.

I made this with just marmalade! Placed into the gingerbread tea. So yummy. Love the final sip having bits to chew on. Thanks Made for Comfort Cafe. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=288536&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=915 Thanks!

Ah, lovely! The bitterness of the marmalade truly enhances a cup of tea!! The sugar and lemon balance one another nicely. Yum.

Mmmm this was really good! I was too lazy to truely make the recipe properly but I was really inspired so I just dumped a teaspoon of homemade orange marmalade into a cup of earl grey and supped it up while it was hot! What a lovely, refreshing change! I'll certainly be having this again and will definitely try it the proper way too at some point!
