Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jasmine tea bag or 1 tablespoon loose-leaf jasmine tea

  • ½ cup 120 ml whole milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
Optional
  • Cooked boba pearls
  • Whipped cream for serving
  • A splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor

Method
 

  1. Steep the jasmine tea in hot water according to the package directions. Let it cool completely.
  2. Pour the cooled tea into a serving glass.
  3. Stir in the vanilla syrup until fully combined.
  4. Add the milk and stir gently.

Notes

  • Chill the tea before assembling for the most refreshing flavor.
  • Adjust the vanilla syrup to suit your preferred sweetness.
  • Whole milk creates a rich, creamy texture, while oat milk is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • Avoid oversteeping the tea, as it can become bitter.
