Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 green tea bag
  • 1/2 cup hot water

Flavoring

  • 3 tbsp taro powder
  • 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk or honey (or sugar/sweetener to taste)

Milk

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Green Tea: In a heat-resistant serving cup, place the green tea bag and pour 1/2 cup of hot water over it. Let it steep for about 4-5 minutes to extract a rich flavor.
  2. Mix in Taro and Sweetener: Remove the tea bag, then add 3 tablespoons of taro powder and 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk or honey to the brewed tea. Stir well using a spoon or a handheld milk frother until the powder dissolves and ingredients blend smoothly.
  3. Add Ice and Milk: Add a half cup of ice cubes to the cup, then pour in 1 cup of milk, either dairy or non-dairy, adjusting the flavor to your preference. Stir once more to combine all elements evenly.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade Taro Milk Tea is now ready to enjoy. Serve immediately while chilled for a refreshing drink.

Notes

  • You can adjust sweetness by varying the amount of condensed milk, honey, or other sweeteners.
  • Use any milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk for a vegan version.
  • For a colder beverage, blend all ingredients with ice for a smoothie-like consistency.
  • Taro powder quality varies, so choose a good brand for a more authentic flavor.
