The Difference Between Royal Milk Tea and Milk Tea
Royal Milk Tea vs. Milk Tea: What Sets Them Apart?
Royal milk tea is known for giving a rich and luxurious feeling when you drink it. But how does it differ from regular milk tea?
Today, we’ll explain the differences between royal milk tea and milk tea, as well as how to enjoy them.
What Sets Royal Milk Tea Apart from Milk Tea?
The key difference between royal milk tea and regular milk tea is the method used to extract the tea.
Royal Milk Tea
In royal milk tea, tea is brewed directly in milk. This results in a rich, creamy, and sweet flavor. Here’s an easy recipe to make it:
- Boil 80 ml of water in a saucepan and add 8 g of tea leaves.
- Turn off the heat and let it steep for about 3 minutes. Then add 200-250 ml of milk and reheat gently over low heat (avoiding boiling).
- Once heated, strain and pour into a cup. Enjoy!
Milk Tea
Regular milk tea involves brewing tea in water and then adding milk. There are many ways to make it, such as adding milk first or brewing a strong tea before mixing in milk. The result is a milder flavor compared to royal milk tea. Here’s a standard recipe:
- Brew tea twice as strong as usual.
- Add milk that’s warmed to just above room temperature, about half the amount of tea.
- Adjust the amount of milk and sugar to taste.
Recommended Tea Leaves
Here are two tea leaves that work well for both royal milk tea and regular milk tea:
- Assam Tea
Known as the standard choice for milk tea. It might taste strong on its own but pairs exceptionally well with milk. - Earl Grey
This tea has a delightful aroma on its own, but when combined with milk, the bergamot flavor creates a complex and refined milk tea. Ideal for those who want a unique twist on their milk tea.
Recommended Milk
Choosing the right milk is just as important as selecting the right tea. The aroma of milk can significantly impact the final flavor. Low-temperature pasteurized milk is recommended as it has less of the typical milk odor compared to high-temperature pasteurized milk. This way, you can fully enjoy the flavor of the tea.
That’s the scoop on royal milk tea versus regular milk tea!
