Black tea latte

Slow-simmered black tea with rich evaporated milk

The story

Hong Kong's everyday drink, born in the cha chaan teng, the neighbourhood cafés of the 1950s. A strong blend of black teas is strained again and again through a fine cloth (locals call it "silk stocking" tea) and finished with evaporated milk: a silky cup with a gentle bitterness.
