Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp Darjeeling tea leaves loose
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp granulated sugar more or less to taste
Instructions
- Fill 2 tea cups with the hottest water from your tap. This will keep the cup warm until you are ready to put the tea in it.
- Add the 1 cup water into a small saucepan over high heat. Heat until it comes to a boil.
- Add 1 tbsp tea leaves into the water and boil for 2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup milk into the tea and reduce the heat to medium. Heat the milk, stirring occasionally, until it just barely comes to a simmer. Do not allow the milk to boil.
- Pour the Royal Milk Tea through a fine mesh strainer or tea strainer, removing all of the loose tea leaves.
- Once strained, pour the hot water out of your tea cups. Then divide the tea amongst two warmed tea cups.
- Flavor with 2 tsp granulated sugar if desired! Enjoy!
Notes
- Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Loose Darjeeling Tea Leaves: You can find Darjeeling leaves online. You can also purchase bags if you prefer.
- Milk: Typically this tea is made with whole milk. You could substitute any milk you’d like, but it may make for a less silky texture. Try it with oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk to change it up!
- Granulated Sugar: You may use more or less sugar than the recipe calls for or use any sweetener you have on hand, but I wouldn’t skip it entirely. This tea is meant to be sweet.
- You can use any sweetener, but it will change the flavor of the tea. Honey gives the tea a rich flavor.
- Be careful not to let your milk and water come to a boil. This will affect the flavor of the tea leaves and your delicious tea.
