Teh Tarik – Malaysian Pulled Milk Tea
Teh Tarik means pulled tea. In Malaysian mamak eateries the tea makers pour it from one pitcher to the other with an outstretched arm until it froths and cools to drinking temperature. You brew strong black tea and stir in sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk. At home you practice the pull with a short distance over the sink. Roti canai or apam balik go well with it.

Drink
Teh Tarik is the milk tea of Malaysian mamak stalls: strong black tea with sweetened condensed milk that you pour back and forth between two pitchers until it froths. The pulling cools it to drinking temperature and builds a dense foam cap. Unlike Thai iced tea (cha nom yen), you drink it hot and without spices.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp loose Ceylon or Assam tea
- 400 ml water
- 80 g sweetened condensed milk
- 60 ml unsweetened condensed milk (evaporated milk, 7.5%)
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil, add the tea and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes, until almost black.
- Take the pot off the heat and let the tea steep for another 2 minutes.
- Pour the tea through a fine sieve into a pitcher with a handle and spout.
- Stir in both kinds of condensed milk until dissolved.
- Hold the pitcher high and a second pitcher low, and pour the tea across in a thin stream. Repeat 6 to 8 times, slowly increasing the distance, until a thick layer of foam forms.
- Divide the tea between two glasses so each gets a foam cap, and drink it right away.
