Homemade Honeydew Milk Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of freshly brewed green tea
- 1 cup of honeydew melon diced
- 1 cup of milk or a milk alternative
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey or to taste
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Tapioca pearls or boba
Instructions
Brewing The Perfect Green Tea Base
- First, let’s focus on the green tea. Utilize top notch green tea leaves for the best character.
- Brew the green tea in hot water (about 80°C or 175°F) for 2-3 minutes. This temperature ensures that your tea is smooth and not bitter.
- In the wake of fermenting, let the tea cool to room temperature.
Preparing The Honeydew Melon
- While the tea is cooling, prepare the honeydew melon. Peel and dice the melon into small cubes.
- For an extra touch of flavor, you can blend some of the honeydew to create a smooth puree. This puree will add a more intense honeydew flavor to the tea.
Mixing It All Together
- Once the tea is cool, it’s time to assemble the drink. Combine the cooled green tea, honeydew melon cubes (and puree if you made it), and honey in a large pitcher.
- Stir well to ensure the honey dissolves completely. Next, add milk to the mixture and stir again. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
