Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp loose Ceylon tea leaves
- ¼ cup condensed milk, plus extra for garnish
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 pandan leaf, knotted
- 1 tbsp pandan extract
- Fresh milk, to serve
- Black tapioca pearls, cooked, to serve (see Note)
Steeping time: overnight
Instructions
- Bring 1 litre of water to the boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add 1½ tbsp of Ceylon loose tea leaves. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, before removing from heat and leaving to steep overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the pandan flavouring by mixing the condensed milk, evaporated milk pandan leaf and pandan extract. Leave to steep, overnight, if possible.
- To serve, swirl some extra condensed milk on the sides of the glass. Add tapioca pearls, ice, tea, and pandan flavouring, to taste. Top up with a splash of fresh milk, stir and enjoy.
Note
• You can get tapioca pearls cooked or uncooked from select Asian grocers. Simply prepare them according to packet instructions and store them in a brown sugar simple syrup made of 1 cup brown sugar dissolved in 1 cup hot water. Cool before using.
