Hong Kong drinks

Black tea latte

Strong tea and thick evaporated milk on ice

The story

Hong Kong's everyday drink, born in the cha chaan teng, the neighbourhood cafés of the 1950s. A strong blend of black teas is strained again and again through a fine cloth (locals call it "silk stocking" tea) and finished with evaporated milk: a silky cup with a gentle bitterness.
