- 1/3 cup plain instant tea
- 1/4 cup powdered coffee creamer
- 1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk
powder
- 2 - 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch black pepper (do not omit)
- Dash salt
In a resealable container combine all of
the ingredients and stir with a fork or a
whisk to distribute everything evenly. Store
on the pantry shelf.
To Prepare: Combine 1-1/2
tablespoons English Breakfast Tea with 3/4
cup boiling water. Stir the ingredients in a
teacup to dissolve.
The pepper and salt may seem odd at first.
I’ve made this recipe without them and it
doesn’t taste as good. The pepper gives a
base note to the tea, which you can’t quite
distinguish. The absence of it is quite
noticeable, while its presence is elusive,
subtle and complex. The salt intensifies the
sweetness of the sugar and tames the
creaminess of the milk and coffee creamer
just the right amount. On the surface this
appears to be a very simple recipe, but its
flavors are perfectly combined, creating a
very rich and intricate flavor.
