how to make tea with milk powder - #24308

Jackson

I am feeling kinda lost with my morning routine lately. I usually love my tea, but trying to figure out how to make tea with milk powder has been a bit of a challenge. I tried it the other day and it came out really weird, like not creamy at all! I used the usual black tea bags and boiled some water, then added the milk powder, but it just clumped up and didn’t dissolve well. Do you really need to mix the powder with hot water first or something? Also, I was wondering if there's a specific ratio or any tricks to get that perfect flavor, 'cause I love a good strong tea taste too. Sometimes I even think about adding spices like cardamom or ginger, but not sure how that would affect things. My mom always made amazing tea, and she used fresh milk but I guess that’s not practical for me right now. If anyone could share their tips on how to make tea with milk powder that tastes good without all the lumps, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

When you're making tea with milk powder, getting that smooth and rich texture is all about technique. You absolutely can achieve a creamy cup without any lumps; you just need a few tweaks. To avoid clumping, start by dissolving the milk powder in a little bit of hot water first. It creates a milk-like base before adding it to your tea. Here's one way to do it: Boil your water and pour a small amount into a cup or bowl with the milk powder. Stir it until it forms a smooth, lump-free mixture. Once you have this, set it aside while you steep your black tea in separate boiled water. After your tea has steeped to your liking, mix in the milk powder blend and stir again well. You mentioned you enjoy a strong tea taste- try using one and a half tea bags or steeping them longer; watch that it does'nt become bitter though! As for spices like cardamom and ginger, these can definitely add a nice depth to your tea. Crush a small piece of ginger or a few cardamom pods and let them boil in the water before steeping the tea. If not sure, start small; a little goes a long way, especially with powerful flavors like ginger. And the ratio - for one cup of tea, about 1 to 2 teaspoons of milk powder should be sufficent but feel free to adjust according to your preference. While fresh milk offers a different flavor profile, milk powder can be a great alternative with a little practice. If a natural sweetener like jaggery or honey is more appealing, they can also complement the spices and enhance the flavor. Remember, preparation takes practice, it's fine to try different combinations until you hit upon what works best for you.
