Ingredients
Tea Base
- 2-3 black tea bags (Assam, Darjeeling, or English Breakfast)
- 1 cup water
Milk and Sweetener
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Boil and Simmer Tea: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 2-3 black tea bags and reduce heat to a low simmer. Let it gently simmer for 2 minutes to allow the tea to infuse.
- Add Milk and Heat: Pour in 1½ cups of whole milk to the saucepan. Keep a close eye to prevent boiling over, allowing the mixture to simmer gently. Remove from heat just before it reaches a boil.
- Serve and Sweeten: Remove the tea bags carefully. Pour the royal milk tea into cups and sweeten with 1-2 teaspoons of sugar or more, according to your taste preference. Stir well and enjoy.
Notes
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture, but you can substitute with any milk of your choice.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level or try alternative sweeteners.
- Do not let the milk boil to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth texture.
- Tea bags can be steeped longer for a stronger flavor if desired.
- Serving size is for two cups; adjust ingredients proportionally for more servings.
