How to make it
6 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Bring 500 ml of water
Bring 500 ml of water to a rolling boil at 100°C (212°F).
Add the black tea dust
Add the black tea dust to the boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the tea is very strong and dark.
5 minStrain the tea through a fine mesh strainer or a cloth tea sock
Strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer or a cloth tea sock into a large stainless steel pitcher or heat-resistant container.
Stir in the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and a pinch of salt
Stir in the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Hold the pitcher
Hold the pitcher with tea in one hand and an empty pitcher in the other. Pour the tea from a height into the empty container. Repeat this process 4-5 times until the tea is very frothy and has reached a desirable drinking temperature.
Pour into glasses
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while hot and frothy.
A little kitchen wisdom
The secret to a great Teh Tarik is the 'pulling' (pouring from a height) which creates a smooth, frothy texture and aerates the tea for a better flavor profile. Use strong black tea dust for the most authentic taste.
