Teh Tarik
Brunei
⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons black tea leaves or 2 black tea bags
  • 1/2 cup condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Tea

Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan.

Add the black tea leaves or tea bags to the boiling water.

Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.

Remove the tea leaves or tea bags and set the brewed tea aside.

Prepare the Milk Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Mix the Tea and Milk

Pour the brewed tea into the milk mixture.

Stir well to combine.

Create the Frothy Texture (Traditional Method)

To achieve the frothy texture characteristic of Teh Tarik, pour the tea mixture from one container to another from a height, allowing the tea to "stretch" and create foam. Alternatively, you can use a traditional Teh Tarik method if you have the right equipment or pour it vigorously between two cups.

Serve

Pour the Teh Tarik into serving glasses or cups.

Enjoy your meal!
