Ingredients for Royal Honey Milk Tea For 2 people
Black tea 15 gr Unsweetened fresh milk 300 ml Honey 30 ml Filtered water 150 ml
How to identify real or fake honey
- Method 1: Take a glass of cooled water and drop a few drops of honey into it; if the honey does not dissolve and sinks to the bottom of the glass, it is real honey. If the honey dissolves in the water as soon as it is dropped in, it is fake honey.
- Method 2: Drop a drop of honey onto a piece of oil blotting paper; if the drop of honey forms a ball and dissolves slowly or not at all, it is real honey. If the honey quickly thins out and soaks into the paper, it is not pure honey.
- Method 3: Put a small amount of honey into a glass and then dip a fresh green onion sprig into it and wait to see; if the onion leaves become soft, wilt, and turn slightly brown, it is real honey.
