How To Make Roasted Milk Tea: A Fragrant Homemade Guide
Hello! Since I have been craving a warm, aromatic cup of roasted milk tea, I decided to test a trending roasted milk tea recipe that blends the deep notes of oolong with caramel‑kissed milk. Below is a step‑by‑step, fully written recipe you can follow at home.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons roasted oolong tea leaves (or 2 tea bags)
- 1 cup whole milk (or a dairy‑free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, for depth)
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Tea strainer or infuser
- Measuring spoons
- Wooden spoon
- Serving mug or glass
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Boil the water. Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil, then remove from heat.
- Roast the tea. Add the roasted oolong leaves to the hot water. Let steep for 3–4 minutes; the liquid should turn a deep amber, releasing a fragrant aroma.
- Strain the brew. Use a tea strainer to separate the leaves from the tea. Pour the strained tea back into the saucepan.
- Mix the milk base. Add the whole milk, condensed milk, and dark brown sugar to the tea. Stir continuously over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is just below a simmer.
- Optional salt boost. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt if you prefer a richer, caramel‑like finish.
- Serve. Pour the roasted milk tea into a mug. For a cooler version, let it chill and serve over ice.
