Milk Tea
About 4 servings
Milk tea is not really seen as a traditional holiday drink, but could easily become one with its warm, comforting taste and richness. It is also very easy to make, and can be made with any variety of black tea (although citrus teas are not recommended, as they may make the milk curdle).
4 cups of milk
1/4 cup of sugar
Your favorite tea bags
These drinks make the perfect after dinner delight, and keep the cook out of the kitchen and into the heart of the holiday celebration.
