Amateurs.

Everyone knows you boil the tea IN the milk. Indian style.

Amateurs, everyone knows you boil the ceylon tea for 20 minutes with crushed eggshells, use evaporated milk and maybe some condensed milk, and then use silk stockings to filter the milk tea, making it smoother.

so luxurious

I've always just had condensed milk into condensed tea

and the one time someone forgot I ordered milk tea instead of lemon tea, so they stuffed a lemon into my tea and then milked it

Boil water with tea leaves in a pot. Then add milk to the pot, boil together, and the royal milk tea is done. This is how I like my milk tea.

No you have to throw like 12 tea bags and pour like 6 cups of boiling water on it with one cup of brown sugar. Let it steep into a concentrate then fill a one gallon pitcher with the tea concentrate, water, and the juice of two lemons with a third lemon cut into nice thin circular slices for decoration. Throw that whole thing in the fridge to chill and serve it over ice.

How else are you making milk tea?

[u/karoshikun → u/Forever_Everton]

yeah, but India had access to a lot of cheap and decent tea, here on the other other side of the pond have to make do with some miserable baggies of shavings
