When making 'Earl Grey' milk tea, Indian Assam black tea can be added in a 3:1 ratio to enrich the flavor and create a more complex taste. For brewing, place the tea in a tea bag, steep with an appropriate amount of boiling water, then repeatedly lift, filter, and immerse the tea bag in the tea liquid until the brew is deep in color and richly aromatic. Then add evaporated milk (not non-dairy creamer) and an appropriate amount of sugar, and stir well. A cup of authentic Hong Kong-style Earl Grey milk tea, with its strong tea flavor, long-lasting aftertaste, and silky-smooth milkiness, is now complete.
