Although I know very little about Taiwan, this YouTube video caught my attention. This recipe creates an alternative to the every day cup of coffee or iced coffee.
Simply follow!
All it takes are 3 simple ingredients...
1. Tea Bags
Red Rose tea bags are recommended. Personally, Red Rose is my favorite. Red Rose has a unique taste and not bitter. Comes in a box of many.
2. Non-dairy Creamer
Easy to find and in large bottles.
3. Organic Cane Sugar
With this ingredient, I am rather unfamiliar. I suppose search your local grocery store. If the store does not carry, maybe ask the manager if he/she could special order.
Angel Wong recommends purchasing a martini shaker to make your milk tea. If you like the milk tea, it would be a wise purchase.
So, be the hostess with the mostest at your next party. Also, have a cup when you are alone.
Thank you for watching!
Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly is Taiwanese milk tea?
- Oh, it's this delightful drink with a blend of tea, milk, and usually a hint of sweetness. It's creamy, a bit sweet, and super refreshing! Trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked!
- What's the secret to making it ‘authentic’?
- The magic really lies in the tea leaves! Go for some good quality black tea. And don't forget, using condensed milk or evaporated milk gives it that creamy, yummm taste.

- Oh, it's all about experimenting! Start with a 1:1 ratio and adjust to your liking. Some like more tea, others more milk. Go with your taste buds!
