Teahouse, teahouse...you sell tea, so you could make milk tea!
Thinking of this, Su An's eyes lit up. She was quick to act and couldn't wait to go into the kitchen to start studying.
The recipe for milk tea is simple: tea leaves, milk, sugar, and water.
Because she was making a new product, custard buns, Su An had just placed a long-term milk order with a dairy farmer, so there was no shortage of milk at the moment.
The difficulty lies in the fact that there were no instruments for measuring volume in ancient times, making it hard to control the proportion of materials used.
Su An then simply shaved a thin bamboo tube himself, roughly carved a measuring device based on visual estimation and intuition, and then began to try again and again.
After simmering a spoonful of white sugar over low heat until it turns the color of jujubes and you can smell a faint burnt aroma, add tea leaves and hot water to the pot in sequence. Soon, you will have brewed a beautiful amber-colored tea soup.
Next, pour in fresh, pure milk in a 1:1 ratio, bring it to a boil, and then immediately remove it from the heat. After filtering out the tea leaves, the process is complete.
But when it comes to milk tea, it just doesn't feel right without toppings!
At the same time, Su An also peeled and sliced the purple sweet potatoes, red sweet potatoes, and taro at home, steamed them, mashed them separately, and added lotus root powder that she had accidentally found and bought, replacing the cassava powder that did not exist in ancient times.
Knead the dough into strips, cut them into small pieces, and then sprinkle them with lotus root starch to prevent them from sticking together. Then boil them in a pot, and in just a few minutes, the round taro balls are freshly made!
Finally, Su An couldn't wait to scoop a cup for herself. The warm milk tea filled her mouth with a refreshing and delicate milky and tea aroma the moment it entered her mouth.
The soft, chewy taro balls burst with just the right amount of chewiness and a subtle sweet potato flavor with every bite, instantly soothing her fatigue from the day.
"Perfect!"
Su An's smile spread, and he couldn't wait to call his family over to try it. Without exception, they were all shocked and gave it high praise.
However, the two boys still felt it was a bit too sweet and suggested that it be less sweet for a more refreshing taste. Li Guihua and Xiao Suyue, on the other hand, thought it was just right and drank it happily.
Su An thought for a moment, then filled two more cups and went next door, intending to let the master and servant there try them and give their feedback.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Li, that glutton, was so drunk that he was jumping up and down. When he heard that there was another pot of it in the Su family's kitchen, he was so excited that he ran there without even looking like a human!
Having no other choice, Su An could only look expectantly at Fu Zhun in his wheelchair.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he had drunk it all in one go without anyone noticing!
Fu Zhun didn't even know how to describe the taste of the milk tea for a moment. Even after finishing it, he still savored the layers of flavor that burst forth, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and tongue.
It felt as if my body was much lighter, soft, warm, and relaxed.
Meeting Su An's expectant gaze, he coughed awkwardly before saying, "It is a bit too sweet. Women might like it, but if it were a little less sweet and the tea aroma were highlighted, it might be more suitable for men's tastes."
Upon hearing the God of Wealth's words, Su An suddenly realized what was going on.
When it comes to tea tasting, men who appreciate tea pay more attention to its aroma and naturally prefer a milder flavor.
She was so focused on making milk tea that she forgot about this. It seems she'll have to go back and refine the amount of sugar so that future customers can choose their own level of sweetness!
"Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be going now."
After saying this, Su An hurriedly tried to return to the kitchen, but the man suddenly called out to her—
"Miss Su, are you getting married?"
