Fruit extract used to flavour Earl Grey tea (8)

I believe the answer is:

bergamot

(Other definitions for bergamot that I've seen before include "essential oil" , "perfume" , "Flavouring in Earl Grey tea" , "Aromatic citrus or mint" , "Oily substance extracted oranges, used in Earl Grey tea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
