After a bit of work, relax with a leisurely cup of royal milk tea. The gentle aroma of black tea and milk is wonderfully soothing. Add sugar to taste. For an exotic flavor, sprinkle on spices such as cinnamon, pepper, or ginger powder at the end.

It had a gentle flavor and was delicious. If this makes two cups, it feels a bit small. I’d like to drink plenty, so next time I’ll try making a double batch.

I tried adding honey. It turned out delicious.

I made this because my kids like it. I used equal parts water and milk. 6 g of Earl Grey tea leaves (I find it more bitter than Assam.) The milk helps mellow the bitterness, so for adults I might have been able to use a little more tea leaves. It seemed just right for the kids.

I only had tea bags at home, so I used the amount of water listed for 1 tea bag. I also wanted to use up milk that expired that day, so I used 300 ml. With 1 tablespoon of sugar, it turned out lightly sweet, and since I used low-fat milk, it had a refreshing, lighter taste.

I made this because I wanted to enjoy what I hoped would be a delicious milk tea at home. Next time, I’d like to make it with proper tea leaves.

It was sweet and very delicious. I like sweeter drinks, so I added 1 teaspoon of sugar and a little cinnamon powder before drinking it. The cinnamon paired really well and made it into a very tasty royal milk tea. Thank you for the delicious recipe ♪ I think it would be nice to try arranging it in your own way too ~ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ

It was light and refreshing, and delicious.

It felt a little on the thin side. But it had a lovely aroma and tasted good. I like things on the sweeter side, so I added about 1 teaspoon of sugar. It says the ingredients are for 2 servings, but it made about one mugful with the mug I have at home. (It is not an especially large mug, though...) So if you are making it for 2 people, it seems better to use double the amounts in the recipe.

This time I made it with Ceylon Uva. It’s such an easy recipe that I’d like to recommend it to my friends!

Water: a little more than half of the amount you want to make Milk: half of the amount you want to make Tea leaves: the amount you would normally use to brew regular black tea for the amount you want to make (For 4 cups, use a little over 2 cups of water, 2 cups of milk, and enough tea leaves for 4 cups of black tea.) The amount in the recipe is small, so I make it like this based on how much I want to prepare. It’s easy to make and delicious, so I really like it!
