Instructions

First, steep the black tea in boiling water for around 3 minutes. Then, transfer the tea into a mug.
Add room temperature sweetened condensed milk. Mix well with a small spoon.
Pour the tea from one mug to another for the pulling of the tea. Do this about 3-4 times, each time cautiously increasing the height of the second cup.
Add a pinch of salt and serve hot.

Notes

To make Teh Tarik stronger, steep tea for longer and add only 1 tsp of condensed milk.
If you like your tea a little sweeter, add more condensed milk.
Don’t pull the tea more than 4-5 times as it might get cold.
