Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Black tea leaves (preferably Ceylon)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by boiling 3 cups of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add 3 tablespoons of black tea leaves to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the tea simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
While the tea is simmering, warm the 1 cup of evaporated milk in a separate small saucepan over low heat. Ensure it is warm but not boiling.
After 10 minutes of simmering, strain the tea leaves from the brewed tea using a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth into a heat-safe pitcher.
Slowly stir the warm evaporated milk into the brewed tea to create a creamy consistency.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes (½ cup per glass).
Pour the sugar-free Hong Kong milk tea over the ice cubes, allowing it to chill rapidly.
Stir gently and serve immediately to enjoy the rich, aromatic flavor of the milk tea.
