Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup evaporated low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Begin by boiling 2 cups of water in a medium-sized saucepan.
Once the water is boiling, add 4 tablespoons of black tea leaves to the saucepan.
Allow the tea to steep for about 8 minutes to extract a strong flavor. Adjust the steeping time if a lighter or stronger tea is preferred.
Strain the tea into a teapot or another saucepan using a fine mesh strainer to separate the tea leaves from the liquid.
Add 1 cup of evaporated low-fat milk to the strained tea. Stir gently to combine.
Return the tea to low heat and slowly warm the mixture without letting it come to a boil.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar into the tea and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Adjust sugar to taste if necessary.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the tea from the heat.
Pour the low-fat Hong Kong Milk Tea into cups and serve immediately, enjoying it hot.
