Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Black tea leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Evaporated milk (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Instructions
1. Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves and reduce the heat to low. Let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3. Strain the tea into a clean mixing cup or heatproof container to remove the tea leaves.
4. Stir in the unsweetened condensed milk, low sodium evaporated milk, and sugar until fully dissolved.
5. To achieve the iconic 'pulled' texture of teh tarik, pour the tea mixture back and forth between two large cups or containers from a height of about 1–2 feet. Be careful to avoid spills and splashes. Repeat this process 3–4 times until the tea is frothy and creamy.
6. Pour the foamy tea into serving glasses and enjoy warm, or let it cool slightly before adding ice for a chilled version.
