FAQS
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?
