Teh Tarik

Ingredients

Water

4 cups

Black tea leaves

2 tablespoons

Condensed milk

2 tablespoons

Evaporated milk

1/4 cup

Sugar

2 tablespoons (or to taste)

Instructions

1. In a pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
2. Once boiling, add the 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves. Allow it to boil for about 3-5 minutes to extract the robust flavor.
3. Strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or a tea strainer, pouring the brewed tea into a large mug or pot.
4. Incorporate the 2 tablespoons of condensed milk and 1/4 cup of evaporated milk into the hot tea. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and the condensed milk dissolves.
5. To create the signature froth, 'pull' the tea by pouring it back and forth between the mug and a separate pot from a height of about 10 inches. Do this for about 5-10 times, being cautious as the tea is hot. This process aerates the tea and creates a lovely frothy top.
6. Taste and add sugar as needed, stirring gently to combine.
7. Serve the Teh Tarik hot in a mug, enjoying the rich aroma and inviting foam.
