Ingredients for Oolong Milk Tea

To make a delicious cup of oolong milk tea, you need to prepare the following ingredients:

• 1 bag of oolong tea bag/5g of loose oolong tea leaves
• 20g of condensed milk
• 10g of yellow granulated sugar
• 30g of creamy powder
• Topping: Black pearls
• Utensils: Strainer, straw, glass cup, etc.

How to Brew Traditional Oolong Milk Tea

To make a standard cup of oolong milk tea at home, you can follow these 03 basic steps:

Brewing Tea

For dry oolong tea, you need to prepare 5g of tea and 150ml of hot water at about 90 degrees C. Then, put the tea in a teapot or cup, pour hot water and brew the tea for 10 minutes. When the tea water has turned dark yellow, filter out the tea leaves through a strainer to get the tea essence.

For tea bags, just put the tea bag in a glass, pour a little hot water and brew for about 3 minutes. The brewing time can be adjusted according to your preference for the strength of the tea.

Boiling Black Pearls

To boil the pearls, boil a pot of water and add enough pearls. When the pearls float to the surface, continue to boil until they sink again, then turn off the heat.

Next, prepare a bowl of cold water and pour the boiled pearls into it to cool them and make them chewier. Finally, remove the pearls and drain, then mix with a little yellow granulated sugar to add sweetness.

Mixing Milk Tea

First, pour the brewed tea water into a large cup, add 20g of condensed milk, 10g of yellow granulated sugar, and 30g of non-dairy creamer. Then, stir continuously until the ingredients are combined.

Finally, just add black pearls and other toppings according to your preference to the glass, add ice, and pour in the mixed milk tea to complete your oolong milk tea.

Notes When Making Oolong Milk Tea

To make a fragrant, delicious, and flavorful cup of oolong milk tea, you need to pay attention to some important things during the brewing process:

• The tea brewing utensils should be made of glass, avoid using plastic. Glass is an inert material, does not interact with the tea, and helps preserve the pure flavor of oolong tea leaves. In contrast, plastic can cause the tea to absorb odors, affecting the quality of the drink.
• Milk powder is an important ingredient, determining the creaminess and flavor of milk tea. Therefore, you should prioritize choosing reputable brands with clear origins, ensuring a delicious and standard flavor for your milk tea.
• Whole leaf oolong tea will have a richer and more delicious flavor than oolong tea bags. Whole tea leaves retain the full essence of the tea, providing a wonderful milk tea experience.
• The ideal water temperature for brewing oolong tea is from 90 to 95 degrees C. Water that is too hot can make the tea bitter and astringent, affecting the overall flavor.
• Prioritize the use of glassware when brewing tea to preserve the pure flavor of oolong tea.
