Hand brewed milk tea
Fresh milk 600ml | White sugar Appropriate amount |
Lapsang Souchong Black Tea 1 handful |
Step 1
Preparation requires raw materials: Let's make it ourselves. Don't buy that kind of black tea bag. Since it is Lipton black tea, it is not as fragrant as boiling it with tea leaves. Of course, we really don't need to use expensive Jin Junmei to cook it. Use this cheap regular tea. Mountain Souchong black tea will do.Step 2
Place the sugar in a pot without water and heat over medium heat until it turns amber. This method gives the milk tea a slight caramel flavor. People who love drinking it will definitely be obsessed with it. If you don’t like it, just skip this step. The color in the picture is already gone. Trust me, the sugar will change color in seconds. I took the photo with one hand while looking at the pot, and it would burn immediately. You can make it yourself, just watch the heat.Step 3
As soon as the sugar changes color, pour the milk into the pot and pour the tea leaves into the milk. During this process, the caramel will clump immediately and you can hear it, but it will slowly melt away and turn into a beautiful milk tea color.Step 4
At first the tea leaves will float on the milk, but soon they will soak into the milk as they absorb the water.Step 5
When cooking, you must pay attention to the condition. If small bubbles appear densely, the pot will boil soon. Be sure to keep the heat low, otherwise you will overheat the pot.Step 6
If you want a strong flavor, the tip here is to use a wooden stick (a rolling pin at home will do) and pestle the tea leaves with one end and gradually crush them, in order to allow the flavor of the tea to fully come out. If you like the milk to be more flavorful, boil it for less time; if you like the tea to be more flavorful, simmer it for more time. If there is a rush to the pot during this period, turn off the heat and stir, and then turn on a low heat and cook again.Step 7
Cook until the milk tea loses colorChange, strain through a strainer, and pour into a cup. Here’s how to make iced milk tea: Pour the cooled milk tea into an ice tray and put it in the freezer. Frozen into ice and put into freshly brewed milk tea, let the two blend into one. The taste is not lost at all, it is the best drink in summer!Step 8
The well-made milk tea is particularly good. Cooking tips for hand-brewed milk tea
