Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 500 milliliters water
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Directions
Step 1
Boil 500ml of water in a saucepan.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves, lower the heat, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Strain the tea into a heatproof container to remove the tea leaves.
Step 4
Add 3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and 1 tablespoon of evaporated milk to the tea, stirring until the milk is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar, or adjust to taste, and mix well.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Repeat the 'pulling' process 2-3 times until a rich foam is formed on top of the tea.
Step 8
Serve teh tarik immediately in a glass or mug to enjoy the frothy top.
