In recent years, milk tea has become popular all over the country, and milk tea shops on the streets have opened one after another. Milk tea has also become a standard item for people to go shopping. Especially in the summer, even under the scorching sun, you still have to wait in a long line to drink a cup of milk tea. I don’t know if there’s something in it that’s addictive or if it’s just too delicious to resist the temptation.

Chinese milk tea originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Princess Wencheng and her relative Songtsen Gampo brought tea with them. Princess Wencheng taught the locals the tea-making techniques and also used milk to cook tea, thus creating Milk tea is a drink. Milk tea is indeed a tea-drinking custom among nomadic people. Especially today's Mongolian people particularly like to drink milk tea. There is also a saying that "it is better to go without food for a day than to go without tea for a day." Drinking milk tea reflects the Mongolian living habits and national customs. In the past, milk tea was only popular among nomads, but now milk tea is popular all over the world. Looking back at the development process of milk tea production, the original milk tea was made from sugar, black tea, and milk. Nowadays, milk tea is rich and colorful, including pearl milk tea, stocking milk tea, and caramel milk tea. In fact, most of the milk tea in milk tea shops is milk tea blended with tea powder, creamer, and saccharin. In order to improve the taste, businesses have to add some creamer. According to tests, the sugar content in all major brands of milk tea is very high. For those who want to lose weight, drinking a cup of milk tea will not be enough. Since milk tea bought outside is expensive and unhealthy, make your own milk tea at home!

Today I will teach you how to make homemade milk tea. If you want to make a classic pot of milk tea with a mellow and refreshing aroma, the tea leaves, water quality, milk and heat are all very important. When making milk tea, you should choose black tea. In addition to the beautiful color of the tea, the black tea itself is warm in nature and has a mellow and fragrant taste. Water, tea, and milk all have a certain proportion. The more milk, the better. The heat must be in place to achieve a perfect combination of tea and milk.

Classic milk tea

Ingredients: 2 bags of black tea, 1 bottle of milk, 2 pieces of yellow rock sugar, 500ml of purified water

Method:

1. Add a bowl of pure water or mineral water to the milk pot and heat it to boil (it is best not to use tap water, as it is easy to produce rust when boiling, which will affect the taste);

2. Pour 2 bags of black tea into In the pot, cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, then turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes (to allow the taste, color and aroma of the tea to be fully integrated into the water)?

3. Boil the caramel , put the yellow rock sugar into the pot, white sugar and brown sugar can also be used, cook over low heat until the sugar melts, stir-fry until slightly thickened, pour in the milk, the sugar at this time is a little lumpy, it doesn't matter, the caramel is made when making tea It will melt again.

4. Pour the black tea water you just brewed into the milk, heat it over low heat, and stir while cooking. Do not boil the milk. When the milk bubbles slightly, turn off the heat.

5. In order to make the milk tea more delicate and mellow, it is best to filter it. Hot milk tea will be more fragrant. If you like to drink cold drinks, you can put it in the refrigerator before drinking. TIPS: First, the tea bag does not have to be black tea, other teas can be used.

Second, I tried the ratio of 2 bags of milk to 3 bags of tea, but the taste was still not very good. When making milk tea, you must try more to master the ratio. Make your own milk tea according to your own taste. Making your own food at home is much healthier than buying it from outside.
