After all, milk tea also has a "tea tradition"
Today, Duoyujun will talk to you about milk tea around the world.
From today's " Speaking of "Internet Celebrities"~
Taiwanese Milk Tea
The pearl milk tea that is popular all over the world is mainly Taiwanese milk tea, and its characteristic is that various cute and cute powder balls are added to it.
The Dutch first brought milk tea to Taiwan, and the Taiwanese used "pearls" to iterate the pearl milk tea.
As for who was the first to add "pearls" to milk tea, Chun Shui Tang in Taichung said that it was invented by a female shop assistant in 1987 by mixing powder balls with iced milk tea and lemon black tea; Tainan The owner of Hanlin Tea House said that this idea came to him when he saw white powder balls while visiting the vegetable market in 1986. Of course, there is little conclusive evidence on either side.
As the "soul" of pearl milk tea, the "pearls" are actually some starch balls made of cassava, but they have an extremely exaggerated name - "Boba".
It is said that this was named after the popular actress Ye Zimei by a Taiwanese hawker. Unexpectedly, it became so popular that even foreigners simply called it BOBA Tea.
Hong Kong Milk Tea
With Taiwan’s milk tea industry dominating the market, Hong Kong milk tea is probably the only one that can barely compete with it.
As another important branch of Asian milk tea, Hong Kong milk tea was born out of British milk tea. The early British brought the British afternoon tea lifestyle to Hong Kong, such as Royal Milk Tea and Earl Gray Milk Tea, all of which had a cold and aristocratic style.
Hong Kong people have retained the exquisite production technology of British milk tea, and have also made milk tea more "people-friendly" and "down-to-earth".
stockings milk tea is the representative of Hong Kong style milk tea . It is estimated that many people have been impressed and confused by this peculiar name.
Actually, when making milk tea, the white cloth bag used for filtering will become like stockings after repeated washing with tea, hence the name.
There is also a Hong Kong style milk tea called Yuanyang Milk Tea , which is a mixture of half coffee and half milk tea. The richness of the coffee and the smoothness of the milk tea are cleverly blended together.
Malaysian milk tea
In Malaysia , milk tea has a unique name " teh tarik ".
Malay found that using two cups to pour the milk tea back and forth repeatedly can allow the tea and milk to fully blend and taste better.
The action of pouring milk tea over and over looks like ramen noodles, so the name "pulled tea" was born. Although it has nothing to do with noodles, the action of pulling noodles has become the iconic gesture for making milk tea.
Although milk tea has been renamed "teh tarik", its popularity has not been compromised.In Malaysia, you can taste delicious "teh tarik" whether in high-end wine shops in big cities such as Kuala Lumpur or in "mama stalls" in the streets and alleys of remote market towns.
Thai milk tea
In addition to the above milk tea "big players", Thai milk tea also has quite a number of fans.
The color of Thai milk tea is more of a beautiful orange-red color, which gives you a sense of satisfaction after being exposed to the sun.
The "opening method" of Thai milk tea is also very particular. Before drinking, you usually need to put a lot of ice cubes in the cup, and then pour the mixed milk tea.
Some people have concluded that the essence of Thai milk tea is bitter, sweet and fragrant. The three flavors blend together without any contradiction, and the tea aroma is better than the milk aroma, and the refreshing effect is comparable to coffee.
Indian milk tea
In India, milk tea is a relatively traditional drink, and it is not the same route as Taiwanese milk teas, which focus on "sweetness".
Indians prefer thicker flavors and will directly cook them with caramel, fresh milk and tea.
Indians who love spices will certainly not miss the opportunity to add spices to their milk tea. Ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel... you can use it as you like to make soup.
Indian milk tea has a strong flavor and rich layers. Although not everyone can appreciate it, its unique flavor is really more impressive and unforgettable~
Mongolian milk tea
There has always been a "sweet and salty" flavor in the food world "Struggle", milk tea is no exception. After talking so much about "sweet" milk tea, naturally we cannot miss the representative of "salty" milk tea - Mongolian milk tea .
Mongolian milk tea is called "Sutaiqie" in Mongolian and is an indispensable traditional drink for Mongolian herdsmen in their daily life.
Mongolian milk tea generally uses brick tea. Add fresh milk to thickly boiled tea, stir it with a spoon until the tea and milk are blended, then add a little salt and small pieces of butter. You can also add an appropriate amount of fried rice.
Compared with the fashionable and exaggerated temperament of "Internet celebrity" milk teas, Mongolian milk tea is very simple and low-key as a daily food. Its sweet and salty taste, mellow and rich milk aroma, has its own unique flavor.
