Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved
  • 2 cups water for boiling and brewing tea
  • 2 teabags black tea bags
  • 1 cup milk any kind preferred
  • 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 drop rose water added just before serving

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • Blender
  • Fine strainer
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Bring water to a gentle simmer in a small saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat and steep the black tea bags for about 5 minutes, until the tea is strong and fragrant. Remove the tea bags and set the tea aside to cool slightly.
  2. While the tea cools a bit, place the halved strawberries into a blender. Pour in a little of the hot tea to help dissolve the berries and blend until smooth, creating a vibrant pink puree with a slightly frothy top.
  3. Pour the remaining cooled tea into the blender along with the milk and honey or simple syrup. Blend again briefly until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste the drink and adjust sweetness if desired. Then, strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or seeds, resulting in a silky, vibrant pink liquid.
  5. Fill serving glasses with ice if you like your drink chilled. Pour the strawberry milk tea into the glasses carefully to capture the beautiful pink hue.
  6. Add a single drop of rose water to each glass just before serving to boost the floral aroma. Give the drink a gentle stir to incorporate the rosewater evenly.
  7. Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a small flower if desired, then serve immediately with a straw or spoon for leisurely sipping and savoring the floral, fruity flavors.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, substitute part of the milk with condensed milk or coconut milk. Adjust sweetness to taste, especially if your strawberries are very ripe. Best enjoyed fresh for maximum flavor and aroma.
