Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 500 milliliters water
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
Boil 500ml of water in a saucepan.
Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves, lower the heat, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Strain the tea into a heatproof container to remove the tea leaves.
Add 3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk to the tea, stirring until the milk is fully dissolved.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, or adjust to taste, and mix well.
Pour the tea mixture back and forth between two containers to create froth and a creamy texture. This is the 'pulling' process that gives teh tarik its name. Aim to 'pull' the tea from as high as possible, carefully not to spill.
Repeat the 'pulling' process 2-3 times until a rich foam is formed on top of the tea.
Serve teh tarik immediately in a glass or mug to enjoy the frothy top.
