Hong Kong Style Milk Tea Recipes

During the colonial period, when Hong Kong was under British Crown rule, two different tea traditions collided, resulting in a beautiful cup of sweet, silky, smooth tea. Traditional Hong Kong milk tea is made by heavily steeping black tea leaves and then "pulling" the tea through a large silk hose before adding it to a cup prepared with precision amounts of evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. After living in Asia for three-years, this is the recipe for Hong Kong "style" milk tea that I use for my daily cup of tea. It is a VERY SWEET tea, so if you do not enjoy sweet tea, this won't be your cup of tea.

I came up with this recipe after reading many Chinese posts; none of them sounded like the milk tea I have had before. Honey milk tea is what I always order when I go to a tea place. Technically, bubble tea is not much different from milk tea (I am not sure why they separate them into two different categories in the tea shop). There are also different styles of bubble/milk tea, like Hong Kong style, Taiwan style, etc. This is a Hong Kong-style milk tea.
