I posted the other day about this addiction that I developed for Hong-Kong style milk tea at Crimson Teas in town.
Since I cracked open a tin of evaporated milk yesterday when I made the turmeric golden milk tea, I thought that I’d play around with HK style milk tea with the rest of it.
This packet of leaf is past its prime. First, age, but more importantly because the pouch unhinged at the bottom early on—-pretty but useless pouches—and the leaf has been exposed to air for, well, probably since I purchased it.
Regardless, I thought there might be potential here. Vanilla black leaf. Vanilla bean honey. You get me?
Now, milk tea is strong, that is to say, intensely brewed, almost to the point of mistake. So I heaped up almost 2 teaspoons of leaf and let it steep for ooooh maybe 4 minutes, which for me it long.
After I made the milk tea with a huge glug of evaporated milk and at least a teaspoon and a half of vanilla infused honey, I googled the recipe for milk tea. Ayup, that’s how I roll—enthusiasm and action first, research later.
It turns out that HK style milk tea is made with English Breakfast, strongly steeped, and then all the other things.
My experiment, however, is still darn good though. Though, true enough, the base could be a bit friskier.
Also, these neighbours of mine—-whereever I go, there they are, yakking all at once, kids, adults, making noise. I move to another room and there they are again. Ugh!
Oh gosh, I’m so sorry about your neighbors. headphones? music? for a break?
Thanks, me too. This is just how they are. And since I’ve spoken with them more than once about this situation, especially when they are waking me when I am sleeping, it seems that they are making an effort—ie. for them, not what normal people do or how normal people live. Gah!
I blast my music when I can’t take it anymore, just so that I can have a break from them and not have to have them in my face every single minute of my day. But still, gah.
I can sympathize, I’ve lived in places with paper thin walls and it makes you feel like there’s no privacy. Wish they constructed homes with better sound proofing.
Thanks. Seriously!
Your experiment sounds tasty!
It was, but stronger base would have made things much much better.
I have a couple crazy strong CTCs. That would probably do the trick? Haha.
