It was already hot today when I woke up, so I decided to play around and try making a cold tea latte. My initial efforts failed spectacularly, in which I dropped a tea bag into cold milk and hoped for the best. After like an hour, some tea flavour had come out of the tea bag and there was a little tea taste in the milk, so I said, fine whatever, I’ll just drink it weak because I didn’t want to wait anymore. So I added my usual amount of sugar and this drink was SWEET. Like, unbearably so.
I then poured that tea into a container to hopefully salvage later, stuck it in the fridge, and went back to the drawing board. This time I figured I’d start with some hot water to extract the tea flavour, so I used a small amount of boiling water in a mug and steeped a second tea bag just fine as expected. Super dark, looks very strong. This cup too I put into the fridge to cool down.
Once everything was cold, I took my original drink, added a bunch more milk to it and most of the “concentrated tea”.
The result – a drinkable cold tea latte or rather a container with enough tea for two cold tea lattes!
I think I more prefer this tea warm, but I guess this is okay to keep me cool.
Sounds very tasty! Tetley is a good, plain stock-the-cupboard bagged tea; a little hard to find in my corner of the midwest.
Yea, it was a nice change on a hot day. It’s all gone now though lol… at least I know how to make more so I don’t have to choose between going without my tea or overheating myself.
As for the Tetley tea, it’s one of those teas that are so familiar to me that I just assume they are easily obtained everywhere lol… The hardest part for me is waiting for it to go on sale so I can stock up.
My favorite is their Black & Green blend. More often than not, that’s my afternooner at work.
