Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the freshly boiled water over your loose leaf tea. Give it a quick stir and let it steep for about 3 minutes — just enough time for the flavors and color to develop.
- After steeping, strain the tea into a bowl or another cup to remove the leaves. Add the crushed cinnamon and the milk powder, and mix well until the milk powder is fully dissolved.
- Pour the tea into your cup using a fine strainer to catch any undissolved bits. Enjoy while warm!
Ubee's tips & notes
- Don’t over-stir, as it cools the tea faster, and no one likes lukewarm comfort.
- Always use freshly boiled water. This helps the tea leaves fully open up and release their best flavor and color.
