It's been awhile since I've posted a Tea Of The Day and I have a reason! I do, I do! Of course it's not the best excuse, but as ashamed as I am to say it I must. I haven't been drinking tea. Well alright that was a lie, I have been drinking tea, I just haven't been drinking new tea. Recently I've bought so much tea that I have packs and packs of tea in the cabinet that haven't even been opened yet. So instead of going back to the tea aisle and spending more, I've decided to finish the tea I already have. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy a cup of Malay tea though.
If you've seen Tasting Malaysia then you know just what I'm talking about. Teh Tarik! Served hot or cold, Teh Tarik literally means "pulled tea" because of the interesting way it's made. It's poured from two containers from a great height back and forth until the condensed milk and black tea are thoroughly mixed together. It's sweet with a subtle undertone of rich tea and is wonderful iced on a hot Sunday afternoon. Happy Tea Time!
