Refreshing Iced Honey Milk Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of water
- 2 black tea bags or 2 tablespoons of loose-leaf black tea
- 1 cup of milk whole, skim, or any plant-based milk
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract optional
- Ice cubes optional, for a cold version
Instructions
Boil The Water
- Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Take the water off the heat source as soon as it reaches a rolling boil.
Brew The Tea
- Add the black tea bags (or loose-leaf tea in a tea infuser) to the hot water. Let the tea steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. For a stronger flavor, steep longer.
Heat The Milk
- While the tea is steeping, heat 1 cup of milk in a separate pot over medium heat. Be careful not to let it boil; you just want it hot enough to mix well with the tea.
Combine Tea And Milk
- Remove the tea bags (or tea infuser) from the pot. Slowly pour the hot milk into the tea, stirring gently to combine.
Add Honey And Flavor
- Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of honey, adjusting the amount based on your desired sweetness level. For an extra touch of flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Serve Hot Or Cold
- Hot Version: Pour the Honey milk Tea into mugs and enjoy immediately.
- Cold Version: Let the tea cool to room temperature, then pour it over ice cubes in a glass.
