Ingredients:
- 1 black tea bag
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup condensed milk
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
Instructions:
- Brew the Tea:
- Place the black tea bag in a cup.
- Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over the tea bag and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, adjusting steep time for your desired tea strength.
- Add the Milk:
- Remove the tea bag and stir in the condensed milk and evaporated milk.
- Mix thoroughly until the tea and milk are fully combined into a rich, creamy blend.
- Pull the Tea:
- To achieve the signature frothy texture, pour the tea back and forth between two cups from a height of about 1-2 feet.
- Repeat the pulling process several times, being careful to avoid spills, until a light foam forms on top.
- Serve:
- Serve the Teh Tarik hot in a clear glass or traditional cup.
- Enjoy the perfect combination of creamy sweetness and robust tea flavor!
Tips for Success:
- Use a strong black tea like Ceylon or Assam for an authentic taste.
- Practice the pulling technique with smaller amounts of liquid to perfect your pour and avoid spills.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of condensed milk and increase evaporated milk slightly.
Wine, Cocktail, or Drink Pairing:
- Pair this creamy tea with Malaysian roti canai or enjoy as a standalone treat for a comforting, indulgent experience.
