Call it a fad or whatever you like. One thing's for sure, milk tea is everywhere. It is divinely delicious and will keep you asking for more but.... wait for it -- it leaves a big hole in your pocket! or for students like me, it means i'd have to save up on my next meal just to get my milk tea fix. When froyo was brought here to Manila, I found myself lining up at Red Mango almost everyday!! Ahhhh, the perks of living beside a mall! But hell, i had to tear myself away from it or else nothing would be left of my allowance! haha =)
Anyway, for those milk tea lovers/afficionados out there, here's how to make your very own milk tea! It costs a lot less than your typical 85-120php per cup!
Here's the easiest way how!!
Ingredients:
Lipton black tea bags - you can get this a for a box around 80php
1/2 condensed milk
1/2 cup sugar -
1 cup evaporated milk
hot water
Instructions:
1. Pour hot water into a pitcher and steep your tea bags for about 5 minutes but being my praning self i let mine steep for a little over 5 mins just to make sure hehe. The number of tea bags you'll steep will depend on how much water you'll put. But i suggest you make the tea strong since its taste will be diluted by the milk and ice later on. In my case, i used 7 tea bags for around 4 cups of hot water.
2. Take out your tea bags. Add your condensed milk and sugar. Yes, this is how fattening milk tea is but who cares! For those who are health conscious, you may use brown sugar instead but make sure you get the right amount of sweetness in there.
3. Pour your tea mixture into a glass, put your evaporated milk on top then add ice!
There you have it, your very own milk tea!! Of course, you can add pearls but being my lazy self I didn't bother. All the ingredients will more or less be around Php150. Not bad right? and good thing about this is you can make and experiment with your milk tea everday for a lesser cost! you can even substitute the ingredients with low fat milk or lowcal sugar!
