Biscuit Tea Recipe
Biscuit Tea Recipe is a comforting milk tea blended gently and served alongside freshly baked biscuits for dipping. I made this Biscuit Tea Recipe because it reminds me of warm evenings and family conversations. I have old experience making Biscuit Tea Recipe, learning the method in my early kitchen days.
Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Fine strainer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Serving cups
Ingredients
- 480 ml milk
- 120 ml water
- 4 plain sweet caramelised biscuits for dipping and flavor
- 2 teaspoons loose black tea leaves or 2 tea bags
- 25 g sugar
- 250 g all purpose flour
- 15 g baking powder
- 5 g salt
- 115 g unsalted butter or shortening cubed
Instructions
Step 1: Make The Biscuit Dough
- Heat your oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add the cold butter or shortening and work it into the flour with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture looks like rough crumbs. Slowly sprinkle in a little cold water, just enough for the dough to hold together. Mix gently and stop as soon as it forms a dough don’t overwork it.
Step 2: Shape And Bake
- Dust your counter lightly with flour and roll the dough out to about ¾-inch thick. Cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or even the rim of a glass. Arrange them on a lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until they turn golden on top. Take them out and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Step 3: Make The Biscuit Tea
- Pour the milk and water into a saucepan and bring it to a soft boil. Add the tea leaves or tea bags and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in sugar until it dissolves. For extra flavor, crush a couple of biscuits and stir them into the tea if you like. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes, then strain into cups.
Step 4: Serve And Enjoy
- Pour the hot tea into cups and serve with the freshly baked biscuits on the side. They taste best when dipped into the warm tea. Serve right away while everything is still warm.
