Breakdown:
Per serving:
- Liquid tea bags 2 packs (approx. 4g)
- Milk powder 11-12g
- Sugar 5-7g
- After adding boiling water, try to keep the inside of the cup warm, for example by using a cup with a smaller opening or covering it. If the weather is cold, measuring boiling water using a measuring cup may cause it to cool before entering the tea bags, so you can estimate the volume directly without using the measuring cup.
- After the waiting time is over, you can lift or stir the tea bag so that the brewing is more even.
