Step-by-Step Instructions for Coffee Milk Tea

Combine 1 cup of whole milk and 1-2 tablespoons of loose black tea leaves in a small pot. Gently heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring. Then whisk in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt until dissolved.
Brew espresso using 2 shots of espresso powder mixed with hot water. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Let it sit to develop flavors.
Once milk tea is ready, carefully pour it into a glass and then pour the prepared espresso over the milk tea. Stir gently.
For iced Coffee Milk Tea, fill a glass with ice before adding the mixed beverage.
