Green milk tea is one of the most popular flavors, loved for the perfect balance between the light, refreshing taste of green tea and the rich, creamy sweetness of milk. Let’s take a closer look at how you can make green milk tea at home and enjoy it with a delicious coconut jelly topping, shared by GC Food.

1. What is green milk tea?

Green milk tea is one of the most popular drinks that many people love, but have you ever stopped to think about what green tea actually is? In Vietnam, green tea is everywhere. People enjoy it daily on its own, and it’s also a popular ingredient in milk tea.

Once brewed, green tea typically has a light green or pale yellow color, accompanied by the fresh aroma of the tea leaves. Its flavor starts with a gentle bitterness and mild astringency, then finishes with a clean, refreshing sweetness that lingers pleasantly in the throat.

What gives green tea its signature flavor comes down to the way it’s made, from harvesting and withering the leaves to the high-heat process used to stop oxidation. This step prevents unwanted chemical reactions, allowing the tea to retain its natural green color, soften any harsh bitterness, and preserve the fresh flavor of the tea leaves.

2. How to make green milk tea with coconut jelly topping

You can absolutely make a delicious and creamy green milk tea right at home. The recipe below, shared by GC Food, is simple to follow and brings out the light, refreshing flavor of green tea.

Next, you’ll need 300 ml of hot water to brew the tea. For a rich, creamy taste, don’t forget 30 grams of non-dairy creamer and 60 ml of sweetened condensed milk.

2.2.1 Brew the green tea

Bring 300ml of water to a boil.
In a large glass jar, add 10g of dried green tea, then pour in the hot water. Cover and let it steep for about 5 minutes - just enough time to extract the full flavor without making the tea bitter.
Use a strainer to remove all the tea leaves and collect the clear green tea liquid.

2.2.2 Make the green milk tea

While the green tea is still hot, add the following to the brewed tea: 30g of non-dairy creamer, ½ teaspoon of salt, 60ml of sweetened condensed milk, and white sugar to taste.
Stir well using a spoon or whisk until the creamer and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
For the best flavor, chill the green milk tea in the fridge for about 2 hours before serving.

2.2.3 Serve and enjoy

Once the green milk tea is chilled, pour it into a glass.
Add some ice cubes and your favorite toppings, especially chewy, refreshing coconut jelly, and enjoy!
