How to choose good chestnuts
- Fresh chestnuts usually have a brown or reddish-brown color, very shiny, not discolored and without black spots, with a red tip on top.
- The surface of fresh chestnuts has many fine hairs, which can help identify whether the chestnuts are fresh; the more hairs, the fresher they are.
- Avoid choosing chestnuts that have lost all their fine hairs, have a relatively dull color, and are not shiny. Chestnuts with holes indicate that they have been eaten by worms or insects.

How to make Chestnut Milk Tea
-
Prepare the chestnuts
First, you will use scissors to make a cut on the shell of the chestnuts, then soak the chestnuts in a bowl of water for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, take the chestnuts out to drain and spread them on a baking tray and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes at a temperature of 210 degrees Celsius.
Next, when the shell of the chestnuts has cracked open, let them cool for 10 – 15 minutes, then use your hands to peel off the shell to get the nut inside.
-
Blend chestnuts with milk
After the chestnuts are shelled, you will put 10 roasted chestnuts and 150ml of fresh milk (or chestnut milk) into a blender and blend until smooth.
-
Brewing tea
Next, you will boil about 200ml of water, put 5gr of black tea into a tea bag, and let the tea steep in hot water for about 5 – 7 minutes.

Making chestnut milk tea
After brewing the tea, pour it into about half a glass. Next, pour the blended chestnut milk mixture until it is about one finger width from the rim of the glass.
Finally, use a spoon to scoop some milk foam on top and decorate by sprinkling a few pumpkin seeds or almonds as you like!

Final product
A beautiful glass of chestnut milk tea with a milky brown color, topped with a layer of white foam looks very appealing.
When you drink, you will feel the fragrant aroma of tea along with a gentle sweetness, rich and creamy, blending with the chestnut milk mixture and smooth milk foam, this combination will provide your taste buds with an incredibly delightful experience.
