Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or tea bags)
- 100 milliliters Low-fat evaporated milk
- 250 milliliters Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Low-calorie sugar or sweetener
Directions
Step 1
Bring 250 milliliters of hot water to a boil in a kettle or saucepan.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags) into a heatproof glass or mug.
Step 3
Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
Step 4
Strain the tea leaves if using loose-leaf tea, or remove the tea bags.
Step 5
In a separate container, combine 100 milliliters of low-fat evaporated milk and 1 tablespoon of low-calorie sugar or sweetener. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Step 6
Pour the sweetened milk into the brewed tea and stir to combine.
Step 7
To create the signature 'pulled' texture, transfer the tea back and forth between two vessels (e.g., mugs or pitchers). Hold one vessel higher and pour the tea into the other from a distance to create a frothy effect. Repeat 5-6 times, being careful not to spill.
Step 8
Once the tea is frothy and well-mixed, pour it into your serving glass or mug.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat Teh Tarik!
