Notes
- This drink is usually made with green tea in Hanoi, so I use green tea in the photos as well as in the recipe card. However, I actually like it better with oolong tea and I strongly recommend using oolong tea to make it. The color of the drink may look just slightly different with oolong tea.
- For tastier results, you can use loose leaf tea. Tea bags are convenient, but the quality is not as good as loose leaf tea.
