Roasted Milk Tea
Roasted Milk Tea is a rich, bold, nutty drink with a smoky aroma made by toasting or caramelizing the tea leaves and sugar together before adding milk. It is super easy to make, and you only need 3 ingredients to make this.
Servings: servings
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp loose tea leaves
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 cups (500 ml) milk
Instructions
- Add tea and sugar to the light colored pan. Toast on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar melts and caramelizes. Don't stir too much. Stirring the caramel too often will clump the sugar.
- When the sugar is caramelized into a golden color, add the milk and dissolve the sugar by stirring with a spatula. Bring to a simmer and turn off the heat. Let it infuse for 5 minutes.
- Strain out the tea leaves.
- Serve hot or iced. Let it cool completely before adding ice. Add toppings like boba or grass jelly if preferred.
Notes
Blend some milk with evaporated milk for a creamier flavor. Or you can also blend with water for a milder flavor.
