Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon or cardamom (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags).
Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let the tea steep for about 3-4 minutes until aromatic.
Reduce the heat to low and add 2 cups of whole milk to the saucepan.
Stir the mixture occasionally and slowly heat until steaming, being careful not to let the milk boil.
If using, stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar (or adjust to taste) until dissolved.
Once the tea milk is warmed through and well combined, strain the mixture into a teapot or directly into cups if using loose tea leaves. Skip this step if you used tea bags.
Optional: Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Tea Milk!
