How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good Oolong tea
- Choose dry Oolong tea with a black-yellow color that has large, round, even pellets and is low in dust. When brewed, the tea should produce a deep yellow color, have a fragrant aroma, and a sweet, slightly astringent taste on the tip of the tongue, with a sweet aftertaste, indicating it is good tea.
- Avoid buying tea packages that are damp, have a musty smell, and produce overly dark water when brewed, with a heavy scent and lacking the characteristic fresh aroma, as this may indicate the tea has not been well preserved and the quality will no longer be good.
What is fat powder? Where to buy fat powder?
- Fat powder, also known as cream powder, is a type of powder that is highly smooth, cream-colored, and easily dissolves in water. There are two types: plant-based fat powder and animal-based fat powder.
- People often use fat powder to replace milk and cream in drinks or baking because this powder provides richness and helps enhance the appealing aroma of dishes.
- You can find fat powder at supermarkets, stores selling baking ingredients, mixing ingredients,… or order through e-commerce sites and reputable online websites.
How to Make Milk Tea Ice Cream
-
Make the milk tea mixture
When the tea is still warm, you gradually add condensed milk and powdered cream into the tea and stir until the milk and powdered cream are completely dissolved.
Next, you add ice cubes to the mixture and stir until the ice melts. Then you continue to add tapioca flour, stirring well to dissolve the tapioca flour.
You turn on the stove and cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the tapioca flour expands and the mixture thickens. When the mixture boils for about 5 minutes, you turn off the heat.
You continue to stir vigorously with a whisk to let the mixture cool down a bit, then pour it into the ice cream mold.

Pour into molds
After pouring the mixture into the ice cream molds, you should place the molds in the freezer refrigerator. After about 8 hours, the ice cream will be solid and ready to enjoy.
Tip:- To easily remove the ice cream stick from the mold, you can soak the mold in warm water for about a minute, or rinse the outside of the mold with water and gently pull to see if the ice cream has released from the mold.
- Before pouring the mixture into the ice cream mold, you should chill the mold in the freezer beforehand. This method will make it easier to remove the ice cream from the mold.
