Description

Hong Kong milk tea is a popular beverage that blends strong black tea with evaporated or condensed milk, resulting in a creamy, rich, and slightly sweet flavor. It is known for its smooth texture and distinctive taste. The tea is traditionally brewed using a blend of black teas, often Ceylon, and then strained through a sackcloth bag, which gives it a silky consistency. The addition of milk creates a balanced contrast to the tea’s boldness, making it a beloved drink in Hong Kong’s cha chaan teng (tea restaurants) and around the world. It can be served hot or cold, often accompanied by classic Hong Kong snacks like egg tarts or pineapple buns.
