Ingredients
Tea Ingredients
- 2–3 bags black tea (Assam, Darjeeling, or English Breakfast)
- 1 cup water
Milk and Sweetener
- 1½ cup whole milk
- 1–2 teaspoon sugar (or more, to taste)
Instructions
- Boil Water and Brew Tea: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the black tea bags and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let the tea steep gently for 2 minutes to extract a robust flavor.
- Add Milk and Simmer: Pour 1½ cups of whole milk into the saucepan with the tea. Carefully watch the mixture as it simmers. Remove the saucepan from heat just before it reaches a boil to prevent scalding the milk.
- Sweeten and Serve: Remove the tea bags from the milk tea. Sweeten the royal milk tea with 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar or more according to your preference. Stir well and serve hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the number of tea bags based on how strong you prefer your tea.
- Whole milk creates the richest creaminess, but you can substitute with other milk types if desired.
- Watch the milk closely while simmering to avoid boiling over.
- Sugar is optional; try alternatives like honey or maple syrup for different sweetness profiles.
- This recipe serves 2 but can be scaled up easily.
