Here’s a simple recipe for caramel tea:
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons black tea leaves or 2 tea bags
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Caramel syrup (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
- Brew the Tea:
- In a saucepan, bring one cup of water to a boil.
- Add the black tea leaves or tea bags and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
- Prepare the Caramel:
- In a separate saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns into a golden-brown caramel. Be cautious not to burn it.
- Once caramelized, add a little water and stir until the caramel dissolves into the water, creating a syrup.
- Combine Tea and Caramel:
- Add the milk to the brewed tea and bring it to a simmer.
- Stir in the caramel syrup, adjusting the quantity based on your sweetness preference.
- Add Vanilla:
- Mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor. Stir well.
- Strain and Serve:
- Strain the tea into cups to remove tea leaves or bags.
- Serve your caramel tea hot and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the sugar and caramel levels to suit your taste. You can also top it with a dollop of whipped cream or sprinkle a bit of cinnamon for extra flavor.
