Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it melts and turns a deep amber caramel color. Be careful not to let it burn.
Slowly and carefully add the milk to the caramel while stirring. The mixture will bubble up, so use caution.
Continue to stir the caramel and milk mixture until the caramel is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the water to the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Once the liquid is simmering, add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) to the saucepan.
Let the tea steep for 3-4 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the caramel flavor.
Strain the tea into cups if using loose tea leaves. Serve hot and enjoy your caramel tea!
