1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 250 ml of fresh water to a boil. Ensure the water reaches a temperature of about 90-95°C (194-203°F) for optimal extraction of the Milk Oolong flavors.
2
Add Tea Leaves
Once the water is boiled, remove it from heat and let it cool for approximately 30 seconds. Add 2 teaspoons of Milk Oolong tea leaves to your teapot or infuser.
3
Steep the Tea
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let it steep for about 3-5 minutes depending on your preferred strength. A shorter steeping time will yield a lighter flavor, while a longer steep will enhance the creaminess and floral notes.
4
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea into your cup to remove the leaves. The tea should have a light amber color with a creamy texture.

5
Add Honey
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey into the brewed Milk Oolong tea. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
6
Optional Milk Addition
For an even creamier experience, add 50 ml of milk to the tea and stir well. This addition will enhance the smoothness and floral notes of the Milk Oolong.
