How to Make Deep & Flavorful Milk Tea Easily with Tea Bags
Milk tea is my soul drink, rivaling coffee in my affections! I personally adore drinking Lipton Yellow Label tea for milk tea because it’s affordable and delicious. This recipe allows you to easily recreate that deep, rich flavor at home, perfect for a cozy treat.
Ingredients- 2 black tea bags (Lipton Yellow Label recommended)
- 100ml hot water
- 150ml warm milk
- 2 tsp sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sugar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pour about 100ml of hot water into your favorite mug. Add 2 black tea bags and let them steep for 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to over-steep, as this can make the tea bitter. Lipton Yellow Label provides a robust flavor that’s perfect for milk tea.
Step 2
Now, let’s warm the milk. If using a microwave, heat it for about 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. If heating in a saucepan, use medium-low heat and avoid boiling it vigorously to prevent a scalded taste. Gentle warming is key.
Step 3
For a creamier, more luxurious milk tea, you can create milk foam! Using a handheld frother makes it easy to whip up a lovely froth. Gently spoon this foam on top of your milk tea for an extra delightful touch.
Step 4
To the strongly brewed black tea, add the sweetened condensed milk and sugar according to your preference. Adjust the sweetness to your liking – this is the most important step for personalization! Stir well until the condensed milk and sugar are fully dissolved, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and flavor.
Step 5
Finally, carefully pour the warmed milk and top with the milk foam (if made). Your delicious homemade milk tea is now complete! The combination of creamy milk and rich tea is truly wonderful. Enjoy your comforting cup of milk tea and savor the moment!
