Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Ceylon black tea leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons Condensed milk
Directions
Step 1
Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, add the 3 tablespoons of Ceylon black tea leaves to the saucepan.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium and let the tea leaves simmer for about 5 minutes to extract a strong brew.
Step 4
After 5 minutes, strain the tea leaves out by pouring the tea through a fine mesh sieve into another pot or a heatproof pitcher to ensure a smooth texture.
Step 5
Put the strained tea back over low heat and stir in 0.5 cup of evaporated milk along with 2 tablespoons of condensed milk.
Step 6
Continue to stir gently and allow the mixture to heat through for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the milk does not boil.
Step 7
Taste the tea and adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk, if desired.
Step 8
Once all ingredients are well combined and heated, remove the tea from the heat.
Step 9
Pour the prepared Hong Kong Milk Tea into cups and serve hot. Alternatively, allow it to cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced milk tea version.
