Easy Thai Milk Tea

• Add the Thai tea mix into a tea filter bag. Double-bag it as the tea leaves are quite fine and can easily leak into the liquid. If you don't have tea filter bags, prepare a fine sieve instead.
• In a saucepan, add oat milk (or whole milk) and condensed milk. On medium-low heat, stir until the condensed milk is fully incorporated.
• Add the teabag to the saucepan. Stir occasionally. Let it steep until steam begins to rise from the milk. Do not boil the milk.
• Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside with the lid on for another 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, you can prepare the brown sugar pearls as per package instructions. (optional).
• Once ready, use a spatula to gently press the teabag so the milk can absorb all the tea flavor. Remove the teabags from the milk and pour the milk tea through a fine sieve into a jug, cup, or small bowl that you want to pull tea with.
• Pour the tea back and forth between the saucepan and the jug at least 5 times.
• Add the whipping cream or evaporated milk (optional).

To Assemble:

• If you have prepared brown sugar pearls, I don't recommend adding more sugar to the drink. However, if you want to enjoy it on its own, you can add 1-2 tsp brown sugar or cane sugar syrup. You can also omit this step, as the drink is originally sweetened.
• Add a few ice cubes. Please do not add too many, as your drink can easily get watered down.
• Add the Thai Milk Tea. Ready to serve.
