Homemade Milk Tea Recipe: Enjoy Cafe-Quality at Home
Creating a Cafe Ambiance at Home with Easy Milk Tea
Make delicious milk tea at home, rivaling your favorite cafe’s! With this simple recipe, your home transforms into a charming cafe. Enjoy the sweet and smooth flavor to uplift your day.
Ingredients- 3g Black Tea Leaves (Assam or Earl Grey recommended)
- 2 Tbsp Sugar (approx. 30g, adjustable to taste)
- 300ml Fresh Milk
- 2 Tbsp Store-bought Brown Sugar Syrup (optional, for brown sugar milk tea)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, in a clean 300ml container (bottle or cup), add 3g of black tea leaves and 2 tablespoons of sugar (about 30g). If you prefer using xylitol instead of sugar, 1 tablespoon will provide sufficient sweetness. While Assam tea leaves offer a deep flavor for milk tea, common Earl Grey tea is also an excellent choice.
Step 2
Pour in about 2 tablespoons of hot water, cover the container, and gently shake to dissolve the sugar. This step helps to extract more aroma from the tea leaves.
Step 3
Once the sugar is completely dissolved, carefully pour in 300ml of fresh milk. The coolness of the milk meeting the heat from the tea helps create a smoother flavor profile.
Step 4
Securely close the lid of the container and refrigerate for at least 10 hours. This steeping and chilling process allows the deep aroma and flavor of the black tea to meld beautifully with the milk, resulting in a richer and smoother milk tea. Preparing it the night before ensures a perfect drink for your morning.
Step 5
After chilling, carefully strain the tea leaves using a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter to ensure a clear beverage without any sediment.
Step 6
Pour the prepared milk tea into a glass. For a brown sugar milk tea variation, add 2 tablespoons of store-bought brown sugar syrup to your liking. You can also experiment with caramel or vanilla syrup for different flavor twists.
Step 7
Enjoy the pure milk tea flavor without any added syrup for a wonderfully satisfying drink. This smooth and aromatic homemade beverage is also appealing to those who might not typically enjoy milk, making it a versatile treat. Indulge in a moment of relaxation at your personal home cafe with this delightful drink!
