How to make Strawberry Milk Tea

Strawberry milk tea is a delicious beverage made by combining brewed tea, usually black or green tea, with strawberry flavoring, milk (or a dairy alternative), and sweeteners like sugar or syrup.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup brewed black tea, cooled
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• Ice cubes
• Additional fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Puree

• Start by placing the fresh strawberries and sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth, creating a luscious strawberry puree.

Step 2: Brew the Black Tea

• Brew a strong cup of black tea and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

• In a separate pitcher or large glass, combine the brewed black tea, milk, and 3-4 tablespoons of the strawberry puree. Stir well to blend the flavors.

Step 4: Add Ice and Garnish

• Add ice cubes to the glass, pour sweetened milk tea, stir and garnish with strawberry.

Tips and Tricks:

• Adjust the sweetness: Taste the mixture before serving. For a sweeter flavor, add more sugar or strawberry puree.
• Explore dairy-free options: Experiment with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk to customize the creaminess of your drink.
• Make it ahead: Have a batch of the strawberry puree ready in the fridge so you can easily whip up a glass of this delightful drink whenever you crave it.

Ingredients substitutes

Excited to make Strawberry Milk Tea? Here are some ingredient substitutes you can use.

• Fresh Fruit Options: If you don’t have fresh strawberries or simply want to experiment with different flavors, don’t worry! You can swap the strawberries with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or peaches. Each fruit brings its unique tang or sweetness, allowing you to create a whole new flavor profile.
• Sweeteners: If you don’t like using regular sugar in your Strawberry Milk Tea, there are other sweeteners you can try such as honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup. You can experiment with these sweeteners and adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
• Tea Blends: While black tea is commonly used in classic Strawberry Milk Tea, you can experiment with other tea blends to create your own unique twist. Try using green tea for a lighter and more herbal note, or go for an Earl Grey blend for a hint of bergamot. 
• Milk Alternatives: Whether you’re lactose intolerant or simply looking for non-dairy options, there are plenty of milk alternatives available. Consider using almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk to achieve that creamy texture while catering to your dietary preferences.
• Garnishes: To enhance the visual appeal and flavor of your Strawberry Milk Tea, consider experimenting with various garnishes. Instead of using fresh strawberries, add a touch of mint leaves, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
