Teh Tarik
Teh Tarik is a delicious Malaysian specialty you can find in any restaurant or cafe in the country. It is so delicious and easy to make that you would not believe how a few extra steps and different ingredients can turn a normal cup of black tea into a smooth, creamy, frothy, luscious beverage of which you will cherish every sip.

Ingredients
Directions
- 1Steep the tea bags covered in the hot water for 5-8 minutes.
- 2Mix in the milk and sugar.
- 3Prepare two containers, preferably with curved lips to ease pouring with minimal dripping.
- 4With a steady stream, pour the tea from one container to the other back and forth.
- 5Carefully increase the height as you pour. The higher the stream, the frothier it’ll become. Be careful not to scald yourself. Tea will splatter. Repeat 4-6 times.
