Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Ceylon black tea leaves
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
• 2 tablespoons Condensed milk

Directions

Step 1

Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the 3 tablespoons of Ceylon black tea leaves to the saucepan.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and let the tea leaves simmer for about 5 minutes to extract a strong brew.

Step 4

After 5 minutes, strain the tea leaves out by pouring the tea through a fine mesh sieve into another pot or a heatproof pitcher to ensure a smooth texture.

Step 5

Put the strained tea back over low heat and stir in 0.5 cup of evaporated milk along with 2 tablespoons of condensed milk.

Step 6

Continue to stir gently and allow the mixture to heat through for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the milk does not boil.

Step 7

Taste the tea and adjust sweetness by adding more condensed milk, if desired.

Step 8

Once all ingredients are well combined and heated, remove the tea from the heat.

Step 9

Pour the prepared Hong Kong Milk Tea into cups and serve hot. Alternatively, allow it to cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced milk tea version.
