I've been slightly obsessed with Milk Tea lately and it's cold which is nice when it's so hot outside. Most recipes require a lot of ingredients so it was nice to find one that was basic. I dropped a couple ingredients, but it's still pretty much the original recipe. The actual original recipe link is here
Ingredients for Milk Tea:
3 black tea tea-bags (Personally I've just been using Red Rose Orange Pekoe tea-bags)
2/3 cup boiling water
2 TBSP packed brown sugar
1 1/3 cup milk (or whatever kind of milk you'd prefer except coconut milk it changes the flavour too much)
Ice
Instructions:
Steep tea-bags in 2/3 cup boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
Squeeze the remaining liquid out of the tea-bags as you take them out and then stir in 2 TBSP packed brown sugar into the tea. Let this sit until it's room temperature or at least until it's significantly cooled down and then pour 1 1/3 cup milk into the sweetened tea solution. Add ice. And it's done.
*One trick that the original recipe had, if you want a stronger tea taste you could make ice out of strong brewed black tea and put that in instead of normal ice.
So good! Need to make it again.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! I've been kind of obsessed.
DeleteOoh, this looks good! I may have had it before, but I'm not sure. I'll have to try making it.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what you'll think of it! The first time I had Milk Tea I did think it was good, but I also thought it just tasted like cold tea. Which it is, but it's really good.
DeleteI'm from the iced tea part of the world (usually sweet and unsweet are served at restaurants and family gatherings, my mom often likes to go half and half on them). I don't love tea. I like some tea and it's usually deathly sweet (or syrup if its hot). I do love teacups and have quite a few for an ambivalent tea person.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this.
Iced Tea is so good. Sweet Tea is more of my thing though. I've always found the carbonation in pop to be a lot for me so it's always been my go-to.
DeleteMakes sense. I'm a bit picky with teas too. There's some kinds of tea that I really like and then the rest I like in theory but not so much in actuality.
I hope you like it! Personally I find with all the milk and ice the sweetness isn't overt by any means and it's just sort of refreshing. (why did writing 'refreshing' feel so weird?) Teacups are always so pretty! There's just something about them too even if you don't use them much.
OOoooh I have to try this with dairy free milk! nice recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious what you'll think of it! I tried it yesterday with almond milk and while I think it's definitely sweeter than it is with regular milk it's still really good.
