Red Tea Soy Milk

Introduction

Tired of plain soy milk? Give yourself a warm cup of red tea soy milk in the morning — both delicious and refreshing.

The red tea I use is Dajiling (Darjeeling) red tea, of course you can use any kind you like. If you don't want to strain the tea leaves, tea bags work fine too.

Ingredients

Soy milk 500ml

Red tea 2 tablespoons

Sugar to taste

Instructions for Red Tea Soy Milk

Put the soy milk and red tea into a pot and bring to a boil over low heat. Note: Stir constantly while boiling to prevent scorching. The soy milk can easily bubble over when it's about to boil, so don't leave the pot unattended. After boiling, strain out the tea leaves, add sugar to taste, and stir well.

Tips

If you usually make soy milk at home with a soy milk machine, it is recommended to boil the strained soy milk for a few more minutes in a pot to significantly reduce the purine content. Also, many people are used to drinking soy milk every day, but this is not advisable. People who drink a lot of soy milk often have high purine levels in their test results, which can trigger conditions like gout. Drinking it two or three times a week is sufficient — moderation is key for any food.
