Ingredients

1 Assam Tea Bag or 1 Teaspoon of Loose Leaves
2 Tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Cup Water

Instructions

Notes

Optional Spices – Assam black tea is a popular base for chai tea. Add warm spices to your milk tea such as cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, cloves. (I use 1/4 teaspoon of each for 1 serving.)

Optional Vanilla – Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to your tea for more flavor.

Optional Boba - Add cooked boba for bubble tea.

Boil water to 205-210°

Steeping only needs to last 2-3 minutes for a full-flavored cup.

Unlike most loose leaf teas which can be reused several times, Assam is best only being used once. As such, I often just use tea bags when making Assam tea.

This tea is wonderful with additions such as sweet spices and vanilla.
