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

  • In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of milk to a light simmer.
  • Add 1/4 cup of sugar (more or less depending on taste).
  • Heat until steaming, just under a boil.
  • Pour into cups, and steep whatever flavor tea you like for 2-4 minutes.
  • You can add some vanilla or whipped cream to add richness if desired.

These drinks make the perfect after dinner delight, and keep the cook out of the kitchen and into the heart of the holiday celebration.
