I think the Bergamot from Early Grey definitely serves a purpose here.

I did 10 minutes - it absolutely works better than the crazy long steeping times you find online, that extract far too many tannins. 5 minutes should be perfectly fine.

I believe the 2-8 hours is taken from cold-brewing tea in water, but water and 80-proof gin have different qualities.

I used my go-to Brokers Gin.

I would not steep it for over 15 minutes - you get too many tannins.

(Yes, I tried two hours, and quickly decided not to after that.)
