Q & A

What are the three different methods of making Thai milk tea described in the video?

The three methods are: using non-dairy creamer and granulated sugar, using milk syrup and sugar syrup, and making a Thai tea latte with fresh milk and optional milk foam.

How much Thai tea is needed for a 22-ounce cup?

You need two tablespoons, equivalent to 14 grams, of Thai tea for a 22-ounce cup.

What ingredients are used to make the milk syrup in the recipe?

The milk syrup is made by combining equal parts of condensed milk and evaporated milk.

What is the purpose of the pour-over method in the recipe?

The pour-over method helps to release the aroma of the Thai tea and ensures a well-brewed, flavorful tea by controlling the brewing process with high and low pours.

Why does the presenter suggest using granulated sugar instead of sugar syrup in some recipes?

Granulated sugar makes the taste of the Thai tea sharper and more pronounced, giving it a more distinct flavor compared to sugar syrup.

What are the key differences between the three types of Thai milk tea in the video?

The first uses creamer and granulated sugar, offering a sharper taste. The second uses milk syrup and sugar syrup, providing a smooth texture. The third is a Thai tea latte with fresh milk and milk foam, which is more filling and smooth due to the higher milk content.

How does using sugar syrup benefit the preparation of Thai milk tea?

Sugar syrup allows for batch brewing of Thai tea, as it can be added to cold tea without needing to use hot tea, making the process more convenient for larger quantities.

Why might someone prefer to soak their tea rather than use the pour-over method?

Soaking the tea is a slower process and doesn't release the aroma as well, but it can be done if someone has more time and prefers a different method of brewing.

What does the presenter say about the texture of the milk tea when using creamer?

The milk tea with creamer has a slightly powdery texture compared to the milk syrup version, which is smoother.

What additional option is presented for making the Thai tea latte more premium?

The presenter suggests adding milk foam on top of the tea latte to make the drink more premium, which could allow for a higher price when selling it.

Keywords

💡Thai milk tea

Thai milk tea, also known as 'cha yen', is a sweetened, iced tea beverage that is very popular in Thailand and has gained international recognition. The video focuses on teaching viewers how to make this traditional drink using different methods. It's a central theme as the video provides step-by-step instructions on preparing this tea, showcasing its cultural significance and popularity.

💡Pour over method

The pour over method is a technique used in the preparation of Thai milk tea, where hot water is poured over tea leaves in a specific manner to extract the flavors. The video describes this process in detail, emphasizing the importance of pouring high and low to achieve a fragrant tea. This method is crucial for achieving the desired aroma and taste in Thai milk tea.

💡Condensed milk

Condensed milk is a dairy product made by evaporating milk to a concentration of about 40–45% total milk solids. In the context of the video, condensed milk is used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in the Thai milk tea recipe. It contributes to the rich, creamy taste that is characteristic of the drink.

💡Evaporated milk

Evaporated milk is similar to condensed milk but has a lower fat content and is made by removing about 60% of the water from fresh milk. The video mentions using evaporated milk in combination with condensed milk to create a milk syrup for the tea, which simplifies the preparation process and contributes to the creaminess of the final product.

💡Non-dairy creamer

Non-dairy creamer is a dairy-free product used as a substitute for milk, cream, or butter in various recipes. The video includes a version of Thai milk tea that uses non-dairy creamer, catering to those who may have dietary restrictions or prefer a vegan alternative. This option showcases the versatility of the recipe.

💡Granulated sugar

Granulated sugar is a common type of sugar that is used as a sweetener in many recipes, including the Thai milk tea recipe featured in the video. The script mentions that using granulated sugar gives the tea a sharper and more delicious taste, highlighting the importance of sugar in achieving the desired flavor profile.

💡Sugar syrup

Sugar syrup is a liquid sweetener made by dissolving sugar in water. In the video, sugar syrup is used as an alternative to granulated sugar, providing a different texture and sweetness to the Thai milk tea. The use of sugar syrup also allows for the tea to be prepared without the need for hot water, offering a more flexible brewing method.

💡Milk foam

Milk foam is a creamy, light topping made by whipping milk until it becomes frothy. The video describes an optional step of adding milk foam to one of the Thai milk tea variations, enhancing the presentation and providing a luxurious, velvety texture to the drink.

💡Tea latte

A tea latte is a beverage made with tea and milk, similar to a coffee latte but using tea instead of coffee. The video includes a Thai tea latte variation, which is made with fresh milk and sugar syrup, offering a lighter and more refreshing alternative to the traditional Thai milk tea.

Today i am going to show you how to make  Thai milk tea using three different methods  

and using the most popular Thai tea brand  in Thailand and most accessible all over the world

first tip if you are using this brand you need to use a  

lot of tea so for my recipe today using 22 ounces  cups I will need two tablespoons of this Thai tea  

per cup and how much exactly is two tablespoons  in grams well one tablespoon of this Thai tea is  

equivalent to about seven grams so two tablespoons  about 14 grams of this tea per cup so you really  

have to use a lot and then we are going to use  condensed milk evaporated milk and just to make  

it faster i am preparing them as milk syrup which  is a combination of condensed milk and evaporated  

milk if you haven't yet seen how to make this do  check out the link above i am also going to make  

one which uses non-dairy creamer i'm just using  a regular coffeemate here i'm also going to  

use one which uses granulated sugar and the other  which does not use granulated sugar but uses sugar  

syrup and also one which is a tea latte using  fresh milk first up we are going to make Thai  

milk tea using creamer and granulated sugar this  brand of Thai tea is not as strong as the newer  

generations of Thai tea so i'm going to use two  tablespoons for one 22 ounce cup and i am going to  

use about 200 milliliters of water and using the  pour over i am going to start by pouring a little  

bit of the water hot water there let it bloom for  a few seconds and then pour the rest of the water

then pour high and then low and the reason for  that is so that you get a beautifully smelling  

Thai tea so we are going to do this pour over  for about five times and try and do it without  

making a mess okay i'm going to do the same i'm  not sure sometimes i do make a mess here okay so  

this is my third pour over four high  and then low okay the fourth pour high

and then low and the final

pour high i can tell you it is smelling so good  and then low okay so this is my first Thai tea  

brewed using the pour over method i'm just  going to squeeze everything out of my tea

and i'm aiming to get about 150 milliliters of  

juice here okay and i think i am  nearly there i'm going to add creamer

and then granulated sugar i find that using  granulated sugar makes the taste of the thai tea  

sharper and more delicious 40 ml 40 ml is  equivalent to about 20 ml of condensed milk  

and 20 ml of evaporated milk so i combine  them together to make the process faster  

this is now our first thai milk tea next version  of thai milk tea it is going to be using only  

the milk syrup and this time we are going to  use sugar syrup the same amount of water here  

Thai tea which is two tablespoons one two just  about level tablespoons equivalent to about 14 grams  

and then i am going to start to pour over  

start with just a little bit let your tea bloom  for a few seconds and then start pour over

squeeze the juice out of here and aim for about  150 milliliters which i am getting at the moment  

so that's it 30 ml condensed milk and 30 ml  evaporated milk or equivalent to my 2 ounces or  

60 ml of milk syrup look at that beautiful color  there and i'm going to add this is optional but  

this is the perfect way of making your thai milk  tea commercial so this is a half an ounce of  

sugar syrup the beauty of using sugar  syrup is that you don't need to use hot  

tea so you can batch brew your Thai tea and  then just keep adding the ingredients and  

this is our second blend of thai milk  tea so if you look at the two of them  

side by side they're very very similar in color  texture from what i can see from the top here  

the texture of this one is a little bit um  i would say powdery because i suppose we use  

the creamer here and this one looks really really  smooth no creamer and no granulated sugar well  

that's just the observation at this time for  our last drink it is Thai tea latte for this i  

am only going to use 100 ml of water hot water so  two tablespoons of thai tea there what i'm going  

to show you now is if you have time and you don't  want to do pour over you may simply soak your tea  

in the hot water for about five minutes but bear  in mind that this will be a longer process if you  

see the traditional way of making Thai tea most  of the street cafes will do a pour over very very  

quickly because you don't have time to really wait  for this to soak for about five minutes okay so  

it's been about five minutes the color of my tea  looks really really dark but the downside of this  

is that you don't get that delicious smell really  trust me it's not the traditional way of doing it  

but like i said if you have time yes by all means  you can soak it okay now what i'm going to do with  

this because this is a tea latte is i'm going to  first make my latte mix which is the milk mix here  

in my straight into my cup so this is 22 ounces  full of ice what i need here is my milk syrup

and then fresh milk any milk of  choice half an ounce of sugar syrup  

optional depending on your sweetness preference  now give it a stir and then pour the tea over

and now let's pour our first drink the one  with the creamer and the granulated sugar

so again this process could result  in some sediments in your drink  

do not include in your drink for the third  drink what i'm going to do here is i'm not  

going to fill my cup with ice because i would  like to put a milk foam this is optional  

so it's just another way of  presenting your Thai milk tea

so there you go again i'm getting sediments  here and now i'm going to top this up with  

milk foam now this one will make your drink a  bit more premium which you can charge extra for  

and this is our third drink today so three  different ways of preparing your Thai milk tea  

they're all very different one is the regular one  no frills this one is lovely to look at it's more  

milk than tea and this one is milk tea with  milk foam how does it change the taste

okay i kind of like the sweetness level  of this one it's not very strong i suppose  

i used to make this like more condensed milk  than evaporated milk this time and made them  

50 50 so it's more or less like 50 sweetness  level it's just perfect as far as i'm concerned  

okay but then you can always adjust that  this this one is a tea latte so more  

milk than tea so the color would be  definitely lighter than that of this milk tea

now this one is very smooth um a lot of milk  there i could taste the tea for sure but  

it is definitely more filling whereas  this one gives you that refreshing taste

wow

i love creamer in my milk  tea but in this case i think

i mean they are equally good the one with  creamer the one without the creamer but

in this case it is just a  matter of preference all of them  

got beautiful smell the  sweetness level is just right  

well they are all very different um i would say  these two are very refreshing because it's more  

tea than milk this one is quite satisfying because  it's got milk very smooth between this two what i  

would select this time i must say i'm leaning  towards this one the one without the creamer  

well that's just my verdict today do let me know  what you think once you tried all of these three  

recipes all these recipes are in my book 'All  Things Milk Tea' so don't forget to check it
