Ingredients
Scale
Milk Tea Pudding
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp black tea leaves
- 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
Salted Foam Topping
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Heat the milk in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling, then remove from heat. Stir in the black tea leaves and let steep for 5 minutes to infuse the milk with tea flavor. Strain the milk to remove the tea leaves.
- Sweeten the Milk: Stir in the dark brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the hot tea-infused milk until dissolved. Cool the mixture slightly by refrigerating for 15 minutes.
- Add Chia Seeds: Stir the chia seeds into the cooled milk mixture thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- Set the Pudding: Pour the mixture into two serving glasses and refrigerate for approximately 3 hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a pudding consistency.
- Prepare Salted Foam: In a mixing bowl, whisk the whipping cream with a pinch of salt and brown sugar until soft peaks form, creating a light salted foam topping.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon or pipe the salted foam on top of the set chia pudding in each glass. Serve chilled as a refreshing and creamy dessert.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk, such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy, depending on dietary preferences.
- For stronger tea flavor, increase steeping time up to 7 minutes but avoid bitterness.
- Make sure to stir the chia seeds well to prevent clumping before setting.
- The pudding will thicken more as it chills, so resist adding extra liquid after refrigeration.
- The salted foam adds a nice contrast, but can be replaced with sweetened whipped cream if preferred.
- Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 2 days.
