- Get tea started with pre-boiled or hot water. about 200ml.
- Add milk, I use 40g of tea to about 300ml of milk. Around $0.5usd
- let it reach a boil or near boil for 5 minutes. depends how you like it. Its tea heresey to let tea boil… and I’m a heretic.
- when done, fold up the coffee filter to squeeze out (futilely) what drop of tea I can from the spongy tea.
- Take it hot, or on ice. Up to you.
I can probably make 1L of milk tea, with 70% of it milk, because of the water to start the tea. Anyway I could not find any tips in brewing milk tea at home so I made this. Hopefully I get tips from comments.
