2. White rabbit candy milk tea
Ingredients:
– 1 black tea bag
– 150ml hot water
– 1 tbsp white sugar (adjustable to your taste)
– 220ml fresh milk
– 6 white rabbit candies
– Ice cubes
– Cooked tapioca pearls (optional)
If we’re talking about trending flavours, white rabbit candy has to be on the list. With white rabbit candy flavoured cakes and ice cream causing a stir among foodies, why not try making your own white rabbit candy milk tea at home!
Place the black tea bag (available on IDOLM Mart) and sugar in a glass and let steep for 15 minutes in hot water. While waiting, carefully chop up the white rabbit candies (try not to eat them just yet!) into small pieces so they will melt more easily. Heat up the milk in a saucepan and add the chopped up candy pieces, stirring constantly to combine into a smooth liquid then let cool. If you’d like to add tapioca pearls to your white rabbit milk tea, spoon them into a transparent glass before adding ice. Pour in the black tea, followed by the white rabbit milk mixture then stir and enjoy!
Pro-tip: If you’re interested in making your drink look extra Instagrammable, use coloured tapioca pearls instead for a unique pop of colour!
