Chapter 92 Pearl Milk Tea
Since you are going to make milk tea, of course you can’t do without pearls and other ingredients.
You can put the other ingredients aside and start with the pearls.
In the process of making pearls, the heat is very important. If it is not controlled well, the tapioca starch will not coagulate easily and cannot be rubbed out.
When you put it into milk tea, it will be easy to melt into one piece instead of being separate grains.
Chen Huazheng pours brown sugar and water into a pot and brings them to a boil. When the brown sugar is completely melted and becomes syrup, add tapioca flour into the pot and stir quickly until it becomes a dough.
After turning off the heat, she poured out the tapioca flour dough while it was still hot, rolled it into thin strips, cut it into dices, and then rolled each small dices into round pearl meatballs.
The last step is to boil the pearls.
Add water and pearls to the pot and simmer over low heat.
Seeing the pearl meatballs in the pot become crystal clear one by one, Shen Huazheng scooped them into a porcelain bowl with a colander and set them aside to cool.
The next step is to fry the tea. Shen Huazheng directly pours the sugar and tea leaves into the hot pot without adding anything else.
Qingzhi followed the instructions and stood beside Shen Huazheng with a bowl of water.
After being roasted by fierce fire and high temperature, the tea leaves in the pot gradually turned into a burnt brown color, the white sugar slowly melted, and the sweet fragrance with the flavor of tea immediately came out.
Seeing that the sugar had been fried to a brown brown color and white smoke continued to rise from the edge of the pot, the cooks began to get anxious.
The pot is about to burn, why doesn't the girl add water to it?
Chen Huazheng continued to fry the tea leaves calmly with the shovel in hand, but her movements became faster and faster.
When bubbles began to form in the pot, she said, "Pour some water!"
"yes!"
Qingzhi quickly poured all the water in the bowl into the pot. As she poured the water, a stream of steam came out of the pot.
After the steam dissipated, Shen Huazheng began to stir it again and asked someone to pour the milk into it.
The addition of milk masked the original sweet tea aroma a lot, but as the temperature continued to rise, the aroma of caramel, milk, and tea all collided together and filled the entire kitchen.
Everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but sniff hard, it smelled so good! !
Watching the milk tea in the pot tumbling, Shen Huazheng felt that it was almost done. The lingering flavor of the tea had been boiled out without reservation and blended with the milk.
She ordered Qingtang, "Go and get the bamboo strips."
Chen Huazheng specially asked a craftsman to make the bamboo strips, which can be used to replace the filter.
"Yes, girl."
After filtering, the tea leaves remain on the bamboo strips, while the fragrant milk tea is poured into a clean wooden barrel.
…
An alluring sweet aroma wafted out of the kitchen, and Shen Keting and Jiang Cheng, who came in search of the smell, couldn't help but sniff it.
"It smells so good! Jinyu, is the fourth lady cooking something delicious again?"
Shen Keting didn't say anything, but he was secretly guessing what kind of food Shen Huazheng would make this time.
Today is a day off, and Jiang Cheng came to my house with gifts, saying that he came to thank me for the invitation to the banquet that day.
Zhou had always liked Jiang Cheng very much. When she saw Jiang Cheng solemnly expressing his gratitude on behalf of Lord Jiang and other family members, she felt that he was a sensible and polite child.
She had tea and snacks served, and drank a cup of tea with him, chatting for a while before going about her own business.
After Zhou left, Shen Keting originally planned to take Jiang Cheng to sit in his yard for a while.
But when they passed the kitchen, they were attracted by the tempting aroma.
Seeing that Shen Keting didn't say anything, Jiang Cheng took another deep sniff and started talking to himself.
"It smells like milk and tea leaves."
"Yeah," Shen Keting nodded, and added: "There is also a faint smell of caramel."
Nowadays, fresh milk is delivered every day. With Shen Huazheng's various improvements, the Shen family no longer rejects eating milk. Instead, they look forward to her new and unique methods of cooking.
It seems that this food is related to milk and tea.
