    Put ordinary leaf tea in a large jar, add 3-4 drops of bergamot oil, and shake up :)

    Thanks Caterina :D

    Hmm, it's my favourite tea too and I've never thought about making my own...duh. Does anyone have any good ideas on where to get bergamot oil?

    In health food shops, and make sure it is real essential oil, not the synthetic stuff used for burners!

    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    I have some very dull Earl Grey tea, and I know I once read here that someone added essence of bergamot to black tea, but I can't find it. Tisserand say their oils wouldn't be safe (although I'd only need a tiny amount in a whole caddy of loose tea) and the only suppliers I can find are American and won't ship to the UK. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I'd use normal essential oil, its only a tiny bit (french aromatherapists apparently often give oils orally).

    Thanks - I thought that would be OK.
