Mix water and custard powder and set aside.
Heat milk in a sauce pan and add sugar.(Feel free to use any container at hand.)
Add the custard powder slurry into the milk when it starts to form small bubbles. Keep stirring to avoid lumps.
When the custard thickens, remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
Add water and tea leaves and boil for 2 minutes. Feel free to alter the amount of tea leaves according to your preferences.
Add sugar and remove from heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a glass, add pudding, chilled milk, and tea in alternating layers. Add ice cubes as required.(It's fine if you mess up layering. The pudding is gonna sink any ways.)
Ensure the pudding is cooled to room temperature before assembling.
Adjust the sweetness of the tea according to your preference.
How do I make Pudding Milk Tea from scratch?
To make Pudding Milk Tea, start by mixing 2 tsp of vanilla flavored custard powder with 50 mL of water and set it aside. Heat 200 mL of milk in a saucepan, add 1.5 tsp of sugar, and once it starts bubbling, stir in the custard slurry. Keep stirring until it thickens, then let it cool. Meanwhile, boil 60 mL of water with 0.5 tsp of tea leaves for 2 minutes, add sugar, and cool it down. Finally, layer the pudding, chilled milk, and tea in a glass, adding ice cubes if desired.
Can I make a dairy-free version of Pudding Milk Tea?
Yes, you can easily make a dairy-free version of Pudding Milk Tea by substituting regular milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk. Just ensure that the custard powder you use is also dairy-free, and adjust the sugar to taste.
What are some good substitutions for the ingredients in Pudding Milk Tea?
If you don't have vanilla flavored custard powder, you can use cornstarch mixed with a bit of vanilla extract as a substitute. For the tea, black tea works best, but you can experiment with green tea or chai for different flavors. Adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference, and feel free to use any milk alternative if you're looking for a lactose-free option.
How should I store leftover Pudding Milk Tea?
If you have leftover Pudding Milk Tea, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, keep in mind that the pudding may separate slightly, so give it a gentle stir before serving again. It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can still savor it cold!
What snacks or desserts pair well with Pudding Milk Tea?
