Ingredients:

  • 1 black tea bag
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk

Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
