• 2 cups Water (boiled, then cooled for 2 minutes)
• 2 tablespoons Black Tea (loose‑leaf Hong Kong style blend; alternatively 3 black tea bags (e.g., PG Tips))
• 0.25 cup Evaporated Milk (full‑fat, shake can well before opening)
• 0.9 tablespoon Turbinado Sugar (or 2 packets of Sugar in the Raw; adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Boil Water

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

2. Cool Slightly

   Turn off the heat, remove the lid and let the water sit for about 2 minutes so it cools slightly and won’t over‑extract the tea.

   Measure 2 tablespoons of loose‑leaf black tea (or 3 tea bags) and place them in the coffee brewer’s filter.

4. Steep Tea

   Pour the slightly cooled water over the tea leaves, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.

5. Filter Tea

   Remove the filter with the spent leaves and let the brewed tea drip into a clean container.

   Time: PT1M

6. Sweeten

   Add just under 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar (or 2 packets of Sugar in the Raw) to the hot tea and stir until fully dissolved.

   Time: PT1M

7. Prepare Evaporated Milk

   Shake a fresh can of evaporated milk vigorously, then open it with a can opener.

   Time: PT1M

8. Assemble Milk Tea

   Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of evaporated milk into a cup, then slowly add the sweetened tea, stirring gently to combine. Taste and add more milk if you prefer a richer texture.

   Time: PT1M

9. Serve
