Milk tea is a delightful and comforting beverage that combines the richness of tea with the creamy goodness of milk.
Making milk tea is a simple and delicious process.
So, grab your favorite tea leaves or tea bags, some milk, and let’s get started!
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make milk tea:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 2 black tea bags (or tea leaves)
- 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust according to taste)
- Optional: toppings like tapioca pearls, boba, or honey (if desired)
Step 1: Boil the water
Begin by boiling 2 cups of water in a pot or kettle. Bringing the water to a boil will ensure that the tea releases its flavors effectively.

Step 2: Steep the tea
Once the water has reached its boiling point, remove it from the heat and add 2 black tea bags (or tea leaves) to the water. Allow the tea to steep for about 3-5 minutes, or as per the instructions on the tea packaging. This steeping process allows the tea to infuse its aromatic flavors into the water, creating a robust base for your milk tea.

Step 3: Remove the tea bags
After the steeping time, carefully remove the tea bags from the pot, or strain out the tea leaves using a sieve. This step ensures that your milk tea is free of any solid particles.
Step 4: Add sugar
While the tea is still hot, add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, or adjust the quantity according to your taste preference. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely in the tea, creating a sweet and balanced flavor.

Step 5: Heat the milk
In a separate pot or saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk until it becomes warm. Be cautious not to let the milk boil, as it can curdle or develop a skin. Heating the milk ensures that it blends smoothly with the tea.
Step 6: Combine the tea and milk
Once the milk is warm, pour it into the pot containing the tea infusion. Stir gently to mix the tea and milk together, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. Adjust the tea-to-milk ratio according to your personal preference, whether you prefer a stronger tea flavor or a creamier texture.

Step 7: Optional: Add toppings
To enhance the experience of your milk tea, consider adding optional toppings such as tapioca pearls, boba, or a drizzle of honey. Prepare these toppings separately as per their instructions and then add them to your milk tea, creating a delightful burst of flavor and texture.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy
Pour the milk tea into cups or glasses and serve it hot. You can also add ice cubes for a refreshing iced milk tea. Enjoy your homemade milk tea!

Remember, these steps are just a basic guide, and you can always adjust the quantities and ingredients according to your preferences. Feel free to experiment with different types of tea and toppings to find your perfect milk tea combination.
