Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or tea bags)
- 100 milliliters Low-fat evaporated milk
- 250 milliliters Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Low-calorie sugar or sweetener
Instructions
Bring 250 milliliters of hot water to a boil in a kettle or saucepan.
Add 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags) into a heatproof glass or mug.
Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
Strain the tea leaves if using loose-leaf tea, or remove the tea bags.
In a separate container, combine 100 milliliters of low-fat evaporated milk and 1 tablespoon of low-calorie sugar or sweetener. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Pour the sweetened milk into the brewed tea and stir to combine.
To create the signature 'pulled' texture, transfer the tea back and forth between two vessels (e.g., mugs or pitchers). Hold one vessel higher and pour the tea into the other from a distance to create a frothy effect. Repeat 5-6 times, being careful not to spill.
Once the tea is frothy and well-mixed, pour it into your serving glass or mug.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Teh Tarik!
