Milk Foam Black Tea
Milk Foam Black Tea is a refreshing and trendy drink that combines chilled black tea with a layer of thick, creamy milk foam — slightly sweet and just a touch salty. It’s inspired by the popular milk cap drinks found in Taiwanese tea shops, offering a delicious contrast between the smooth tea and rich, foamy topping.If you enjoy drinks like sea salt coffee or creamy iced teas, you’ll love this easy homemade version. It’s the perfect treat for summer afternoons or whenever you’re craving something cool and satisfying — with a little extra texture and depth of flavor.Serve it over ice and sip through the foam, or stir for a creamy, balanced tea experience that’s both elegant and fun.
