On a hot, sunny day, nothing feels more refreshing than a chilled glass of almond milk tea. The bold aroma of tea, the rich creaminess of almonds, and the delightfully chewy texture of coconut jelly come together to create a unique and satisfying drink experience. This article shows you a simple way to make almond milk tea with refreshing coconut jelly at home.
1. Ingredients for almond milk tea with coconut jelly
1.1. What you’ll need
Before you start making almond-flavored milk tea, make sure you have all the following ingredients ready:
- Ben Tre coconut jelly: 50 g
- Black tea: 10 g
- Oolong tea: 15 g
- Hot water (95°C/203°F): 1 liter
- Granulated sugar: 100 g
- Milk tea powder: 150 g
- Condensed milk: 100 ml
- Almond syrup: 20 ml
- Salt: 1 g
1.2. Ingredient selection tips
To create a perfectly balanced almond milk tea, choosing the right ingredients is essential. Start by selecting high-quality loose-leaf teas with a natural aroma, free from moisture, mold, or impurities. For almond syrup, opt for varieties with a gentle, authentic fragrance rather than overly strong artificial notes that can overpower the tea. Your milk tea powder should also dissolve easily to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without clumping.
When it comes to toppings, choose coconut jelly with a light crunch and a clean, refreshing taste, such as coconut jelly from G.C Food Joint Stock Company (GC Food). GC Food coconut jelly is made from fermented mature coconut water and produced under strict sensory and physicochemical quality controls (Bx, pH). Thanks to modern Pasteurization technology, the jelly maintains its firm and chewy texture without becoming soggy when soaked in cold milk tea.
In addition, GC Food applies advanced Aseptic UHT (Ultra High Temperature) technology to selected products exported to Japan, South Korea, and European markets. GC Food coconut jelly is sterilized at high temperatures and filled into sterile packaging, minimizing the risk of contamination throughout the production process while extending the product’s shelf life.
2. How to make almond milk tea with coconut jelly
The process of making almond-flavored milk tea is simple, but it’s important to follow the correct temperature and brewing time to prevent the drink from becoming too bitter or overly rich.
2.1. Step 1: Brew the tea base
- Start by placing 10 g of black tea and 15 g of oolong tea into a filter bag, then set the bag in a large pitcher. Pour in 1 liter of hot water at 95°C (203°F), cover the pitcher, and allow the tea to steep for about 20 minutes so the flavors can fully develop and infuse.
- After steeping, remove the tea bag and add 100 g of sugar, 150 g of milk tea powder, 100 ml of condensed milk, and 1 g of salt, stirring until fully dissolved and well combined into a smooth tea base.
- Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for about 2 to 4 hours to enhance the flavor and create a refreshing chilled base.
2.2. Step 2: Mix the almond milk tea
- Pour 150 ml of the chilled milk tea base from Step 1 into a shaker, then add 20 ml of almond syrup. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add about 10 ml of simple syrup, but avoid adding too much so the natural almond flavor remains well balanced.
- Next, add about 200 g of ice to the shaker, seal it tightly, and shake vigorously for around 10 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and evenly blended. Pour the drink into a serving glass, add your preferred amount of coconut jelly topping, stir gently, and enjoy.
Once completed, the almond milk tea releases a gentle almond aroma that blends beautifully with the bold tea notes and light creaminess of milk. Each sip delivers a smooth, mildly sweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly on the palate, creating a refreshing and satisfying experience.
