Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★

Required Ingredients and Tools

• Bagged black tea (Lipton Yellow Label is recommended)
• Whole milk powder or evaporated milk
• Cups, such as graduated measuring cups, ceramic mugs, or thermal tumblers

Measurements

Per serving:

• 2 bags of bagged black tea (approximately 4g)
• 11-12g of milk powder
• 5-7g of sugar

Instructions

• Place 2 bags of bagged black tea into a cup and add 180-200mL of boiling water.
• Let it steep for 20 - 30 minutes.
• Measure 11-12g of milk powder and 5-7g of sugar, and add them to the liquid from the previous step.
• Stir well and enjoy.

Additional Tips

• After adding boiling water, try to keep the inside of the cup warm, for example, by using a cup with a narrow opening or covering it with a lid. If the ambient temperature is low, using a measuring cup might cause the boiling water to cool before it hits the tea; in such cases, you can estimate the volume directly without a measuring cup.
• After the steeping time is complete, lift or stir the tea bag to ensure more even brewing.
