Wskazówki

Hot Hong Kong Coffee milk tea (I have provided a simplified tea-making process here but if you want to follow the style of Hong Kong cha chan tengs, see Notes.)

Pour the milk into a small saucepan, and add the black tea leaves or tea bags. Make sure the tea bags are immersed in the milk and not floating on it! Heat over low fire till just about to boil, then switch off the fire and allow to steep. It will vary depending on the pot you use, but it took me about 12 minutes to bring the milk to steaming on a Bosch induction fire of 2.0 (where the maximum is 9.0) The milk should gradually turn light brown- if it doesn't, your tea is probably not immersed in the milk or you're not using a strong enough tea!

Alternatively, you can heat the milk (with the tea leaves/ bags) in a microwave - make sure you use a microwave-safe container and leave at least 1-2 inches from the top of the milk to the rim of the container. Heat on low for 10 seconds at a time, stirring well in between each 10 second blitz, till the milk is steaming and allow the tea to steep.

Whilst the tea is brewing/ steeping, make some strong coffee.

Once the tea has steeped, add the coffee (to the tea) followed by the condensed or evaporated milk (if using.)

Sweeten to taste then pour into the individual cups. (Some recipes sweeten the tea and coffee individually which I don't recommend as it's always best to sweeten the final drink.)

If using fillings, add after pouring into cups (this allows you to customise the fillings for each person.)

Iced Hong Kong Coffee milk tea

Follow Steps 1-4 above.

Chill the mixed beverage in the fridge, then sweeten right before serving- You would need to use a sugar syrup solution (or honey) here as sugar won't dissolve in a cold drink.

Alternatively, you can use sugar to sweeten right after mixing the coffee and tea (when they're still hot) - but note that how sweet something tastes changes with the temperature for the SAME drink, so it's always best to sweeten at the temperature you want to drink. (i.e. the same cup of tea may taste perfect when hot, then bland when cold.)

Once ready to drink, pour into cups, add ice and any filings you like.
