Ingredients
 
 

Pulled Tea
  • 4 cups water
  • 6 tbsp loose black tea strong Assam or Ceylon
  • 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk plus more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp fine salt

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Cloth tea filter or fine-mesh strainer
  • Two heatproof metal pitchers
  • Measuring cups
  • Four sturdy glasses

Method
 

Brew:
  1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the tea, lower the heat, and simmer gently for 4 minutes.
  2. Strain through a cloth tea filter or fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof pitcher. Stir in the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and salt until smooth.
Pull the Tea:
  1. Pour the tea in a thin steady stream between two metal pitchers, starting close together. Gradually increase the distance only as control improves.
  2. Repeat 4 to 6 times until the tea is smooth and aerated with a restrained fine froth. Taste and add condensed milk if desired.
Serve:
  1. Pour into sturdy glasses and serve hot, allowing the surface froth to settle into a thin irregular ring.

Notes

  • Use heatproof pitchers with comfortable handles and begin with a short pour to avoid splashing.
  • For iced teh tarik, cool the tea completely before pouring over ice so it does not become watery.
