Well, folks, today I’m gonna tell y’all how to make this tasty jasmine green milk tea that I’ve been drinkin’ for quite a while now. You see, jasmine tea itself is always a good choice, nice and smooth, and I thought, why not throw in a bit of milk and sugar, make it a bit richer? And I ain’t regretted it one bit! It’s real calming, helps with stress, and feels like a nice hug from the inside. So, I’ll walk you through how I make it, and you can try it out yourself.
Now, first thing you gotta know is jasmine green milk tea is made from green tea, and that’s got a whole bunch of good stuff in it. You might have heard folks talkin’ ‘bout catechins – that’s a fancy word, but it’s basically the healthy stuff in green tea. One of these catechins, called EGCG, is mighty powerful. They say it helps with all sorts of things like weight loss, keepin’ your blood sugar in check, and even takin’ care of your heart and teeth. So, you’re not just drinkin’ something tasty, but somethin’ that might do you some good too.
Now, let’s get to the recipe part. Don’t worry, it ain’t hard. It’s real simple, just like how we do things in the village.
- Ingredients:
- Green jasmine tea leaves (about 2 teaspoons)
- Half a cup of milk (use whatever kind you like – I use whole milk, gives it a nice creamy taste)
- Two tablespoons of sugar (or more, if you like it sweet)
- Equipment:
- Two large saucepans
- Tall serving glasses (for pourin’ your drink into once it’s ready)
Alright, now here’s how you do it:
Step 1: Boil some water. You don’t need a whole lot, just enough to steep your tea leaves in. I usually get about a cup or a little more, depends on how strong you like it. Put the water on the stove and let it come to a boil.
Step 2: Once the water’s boilin’, put your green jasmine tea leaves into a teapot or just straight into the saucepan, if you ain’t got one of those fancy teapots. Let it steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. You don’t want to let it sit too long or it’ll get too bitter, so keep an eye on it.
Step 3: While the tea is steepin’, you can go ahead and warm up your milk. I like to do this in another saucepan over medium heat. Don’t let it boil though – just heat it up nice and gentle, so it’s warm but not scalding. Stir it occasionally so it don’t burn.
Step 4: Once your tea is steeped to your liking, strain out the tea leaves and pour the tea into your serving glasses. If you’re makin’ more than one, just divide it up evenly.
Step 5: Add in your warm milk. You can pour it slow-like, so you get that nice mix of tea and milk. Stir it all together. And then, don’t forget the sugar! Put in two tablespoons of sugar (or more if you like it sweeter, like my grandson does), and stir till it’s all dissolved.
Step 6: Taste it, and if you think it needs more milk or sugar, go ahead and add it. Once you’ve got it just the way you like it, pour it into your favorite tall glass.
There you go! A nice, smooth jasmine green milk tea that’ll make you feel calm and content. I like to sit down on the porch with a glass of this in the evening, watching the sun go down. It’s real peaceful, and I reckon it does wonders for your mood too.
Now, you can change it up however you like. Some folks like it iced, and I reckon that’d be nice too if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ cool on a hot day. You can also add some boba pearls if you feel fancy – that’s a thing the young ones like to do. But however you make it, it’s sure to be a treat.
So, that’s my little secret for a lovely jasmine green milk tea. Simple, tasty, and good for you. I hope y’all try it out and enjoy it just as much as I do!
