Milk green tea is a refined drink that combines the tenderness of milk with the sharp aroma of green tea. This unusual way of serving tea is popular in European cuisine and brings pleasant warmth and tranquility. It is believed that the combination of milk and green tea softens the taste of the latter, making it creamier and giving the drink a light sweetness without adding sugar. In ancient times, such tea was prepared in monasteries, believing in its calming and strengthening properties. Today it is perfect for a cozy evening, especially in cold weather. The drink is easy to prepare: milk is heated to 70 degrees, tea leaves are added and allowed to steep before straining. This tea not only warms but also serves as a source of antioxidants that promote health.
