Grass jelly milk tea, a refreshing Taiwanese treat, combines earthy grass jelly with creamy milk for a perfect balance of flavors. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make it at home.
Ingredients:
- 10g dried grass jelly powder or 200g fresh grass jelly
- 500ml water
- 2 black tea bags (or loose-leaf black tea)
- 300ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- Sugar or honey to taste
- Ice cubes
Steps:
1. Prepare Grass Jelly: If using powder, mix it with 500ml water in a pot, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes until dissolved. Pour into a container, let cool, then refrigerate until set (about 2 hours). Cut into cubes. For fresh grass jelly, simply dice it.
2. Brew Tea: Steep black tea bags in 300ml hot water for 3–5 minutes. Remove bags, add sugar/honey, and stir until dissolved. Let cool completely.
3. Assemble: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Add 2–3 tablespoons of grass jelly cubes. Pour in the cooled tea, then top with milk. Stir gently and enjoy!
Tips: For a richer taste, use condensed milk. Adjust sweetness by varying sugar or honey. You can also add tapioca pearls for a classic boba twist. This versatile drink is perfect for hot days—simple, delicious, and customizable!
