I could not tell you how much I love the Hong Kong-style Milk Tea. When I grew up in Hong Kong, whenever I went to a restaurant for lunch or afternoon tea, the drink I would order all the time MUST be a cup of hot Hong Kong-style Milk Tea. It has a smooth and creamy texture with the evaporated milk as it becomes beguilingly sweet and full-flavoured. Since I moved to London, having a Hong Kong-style Milk Tea has become less convenient. Therefore, I decided to experiment with my own recipe at home. Are you the sort of person who would also fancy Hong Kong-style Milk Tea? If you are, I am happy to share my SECRET recipe with you so that you can make a cup of them anytime at home!
