In fact, to drink a really good cup of milk tea, you must understand the basic knowledge of milk tea, and you must understand the origin, history, varieties and how some milk tea drinks are formed.

With the opening of the Silk Road, milk tea was brought into India. According to the differences in food culture, the Indian people add spices to milk tea to enhance the taste.
Indian milk tea
Indian milk tea, also known as Indian lacha, is a veritable "mixed spice tea".
Indian milk tea is characterized by the use of a large number of spices, of which cinnamon and cardamom bring a sweet aroma, and cloves and ginger slices add a hint of pungency. The use of spices greatly increases the layering of milk tea, which is more magical than milk tea on the market with only sugar.
The Indian milk tea next door, whether sweet or salty, is indispensable curry anyway.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Dutch milk tea</h1>
In Europe, apart from the British, I have never seen anyone from a country as fond of milk tea as the Dutch. It is understood that the history of the Dutch drinking tea is 40 years earlier than that of the British.
The Dutch did not like the spicy taste of Indian milk tea, so they mixed different varieties of tea to replace spices to make milk tea, and added maple sugar as a flavoring agent, which is also the prototype and basic recipe of modern milk tea.
There is a traditional tea drink in the Netherlands called Slemp, the method is roughly to add cinnamon, saffron, cloves and nutmeg, as well as black tea and sugar into the hot milk, simmer over a low heat until fragrant, it sounds like boiling milk tea, but it can not be regarded as if the tea taste is light, because a liter of milk only adds a teaspoon of tea.

Taiwanese milk tea is known as "bubble tea".

The people of Taiwan have innovated intelligently to add "pearls" to milk tea, that is, a kind of powder circle, that is, a kind of powder circle made of sweet potato powder, tapioca flour, etc. The cooked powder circle has a dark and crystalline appearance and is named after the "pearl".
Taiwanese milk tea has a rich taste, you can choose your own tea base (black tea, green tea, oolong tea, etc.), fruit (pearls, coconut fruits, fairy grass, aloe vera, red beans, etc.). Special flavors, with a choice of sweetness and temperature, are popular with the public and have now spread around the world.

In British high society, tea time begins at 4:30 p.m. every day.
English milk tea is mainly for the royal nobility and high society to enjoy, is a symbol of status, so the name of English milk tea is also very exquisite, such as: Earl milk tea, royal milk tea, Mandarin duck milk tea and so on.
English Milk Tea is a recreation and re-upgrade of india's original milk tea. Changing a drink from food to a history, a tradition, a culture, a ritual, a fashion, a pleasant way of life, this is the contribution of British milk tea to the world.
