  Make the milk tea

  Add 400g of creamer powder to the steeped tea, then add 320g of white granulated sugar and use a whisk to mix until the creamer powder and sugar are completely dissolved.

  Once the sugar and creamer powder are dissolved, continue to add 300g of condensed milk and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the tea and stir until dissolved.

  Also add 0.7kg of ice that has been prepared into the milk tea, then cover it to cool the milk tea quickly while retaining the tea’s aroma.

  After adding the ice for about 10 minutes, the milk tea will have cooled down; pour the milk tea into bottles or small jars to store in the refrigerator and let it steep for 2 hours.

  Tip: Adding a little salt to the milk tea will help enhance the sweetness of the milk tea.

  Make red dragon fruit jelly

  Take a bowl and mix 200g of white granulated sugar with 1 packet of agar powder.

  Pour 1 liter of water into a pot and bring it to a boil, when the water boils, turn off the heat to let it cool slightly, then add the sugar and agar mixture, stirring continuously while gradually adding the powder to the water to prevent clumping.

  After about 3 – 5 minutes, the powder and water should be well mixed and no longer grainy, then turn the heat back on to medium and continue boiling once more. Let the mixture boil for about 5 minutes until the agar powder is completely cooked, then turn off the heat.

  Measure 60ml of red dragon fruit juice and add it to the jelly mixture to create color. While adding the red dragon fruit juice, use a whisk to stir continuously.

  Pour the cooked jelly into a heart-shaped mold (if available) or any mold you like. Wait for the jelly to cool, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 – 2 hours until the jelly sets.
