5 minutes

Cold tea with milk and mint is a refreshing drink that combines the tenderness of milk, the bitterness of black tea, and the subtle aroma of mint. This recipe is a modern interpretation of traditional milk tea, enhanced with citrus notes of lemon juice. Such tea perfectly quenches thirst on a hot day and can serve as a great addition to a light breakfast or afternoon meal. Cooling in the refrigerator enriches the flavor, while ice and fresh mint highlight its refreshing nature when served. Ideal for those who love a balance between sweetness, creamy softness, and a hint of acidity.
