China's milk tea originated in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Princess Wencheng brought tea when she praised the dry cloth with her relatives. Princess Wencheng taught the local people the technology of making tea, and boiled tea with milk, so there was a milk tea drink. Milk tea is indeed a tea drinking custom of nomadic people. Especially now, Mongolians especially like to drink milk tea. There is a saying that "a day without food is better than a day without tea". Drinking milk tea reflects the living habits and national customs of Mongolians. Milk tea used to be popular only among nomadic people, but now it is popular all over the world. Looking back on the development of milk tea, the original milk tea was made of sugar, black tea and milk. Now milk tea is rich and colorful, including bubble tea, silk stockings milk tea and caramel milk tea. In fact, most of the milk tea in the milk tea shop is blended with tea powder, creamer and saccharin. In order to improve the taste, the merchant should add some creamer. According to testing, milk tea of major brands has a high sugar content. For dieters, drinking a cup of milk tea will fall short. Since the milk tea bought outside is expensive and unhealthy, make your own milk tea at home!
Today I will teach you how to make milk tea. Tea, water quality, milk and heat are all important to make a pot of mellow and refreshing classic milk tea. Black tea is the choice of boiling milk tea. In addition to the beautiful color of black tea, black tea itself is warm and has a mellow and fragrant taste. Water, tea and milk all have a certain proportion, not the more milk, the better. Only when the temperature is in place can tea and milk be perfectly combined.
Classic milk tea
Ingredients: 2 packs of black tea, 1 bottle of milk, 2 pieces of yellow rock sugar, 500ml of purified water.
Exercise:
1. Add a bowl of pure water or mineral water to the milk pot and heat it to boil (it is best not to use tap water, it will easily produce scale when cooking, which will affect the taste);
2. Pour 2 packets of black tea into the pot, cook for 3 minutes, stir constantly, and then turn off the fire and stew for 10 minute (which can fully blend the taste, color and fragrance of tea into the water)?
3. Boil the caramel, put the yellow rock sugar into the pot, or white sugar and brown sugar, and cook on low heat until the sugar melts. When the sugar thickens slightly, pour in the milk. At this time, the sugar is a little caked. It doesn't matter. The caramel will melt again when you cook tea.
4. Pour the boiled black tea water into the milk, heat it on low fire, stir it while cooking, and don't boil the milk. Heat until the milk bubbles slightly, and turn off the heat.
In order to make milk tea more delicate and mellow, it is best to filter it. Hot milk tea is more mellow, and those who like cold drinks can drink it in the refrigerator.
Tips: First, you don't have to use black tea for tea bags, other teas can be used.
Secondly, I have tried the ratio of 2 bags of milk to 3 bags of tea, and the taste is still not very good. To make milk tea, I must try more and master the proportion. Make your own milk tea according to your own taste. What I do at home is much healthier than what I buy outside.
