Teh Tarik

• 4 cups water, boiling
• 1/4 cup Orange Pekoe Tea (1 tablespoon per cup), preferably Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
• 6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk (1 1/2 tablespoons per cup), to taste

In a teapot or other non-reactive container, pour boiling water over tea leaves. Steep 10 minutes (this makes a wickedly strong brew).

Strain tea into a large vessel with an easy-to-grip handle (such as a large measuring cup) containing the sweetened condensed milk.

Skill

Tarik or "Pull" the tea by pouring it back and forth into another container in a long stream to generate froth. The longer the stream, the frothier the brew (at least 12 inches / 30 c.). Take your time and be careful, splatters from this can burn. 

Serve the Teh Tarik quickly, before it deflates.
