Milk tea pudding recipe

Yum!



My mom brought us a dessert cookbook from Japan. My fridge was devoid of all sweets when I got home from the hospital after giving birth. So my sister, Reyko got to work making milk tea pudding.

1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2.5 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp tea
1/2 tbsp water
1 tbsp (package) gelatin

Heat milk and cream. Turn off heat before boiling. Add loose black tea leavesand steep for 5 minutes.
I had just run out of tea and as I was digging in my cabinet, found a can of Orange Pekoe (who knows how old that was) so I used that.
Add sugar and add gelatin dissolved in water. Stir.
Prepare ice water and strain into a bowl over ice water. Stir until thickens.
Pour into 4 cups. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Top with whipped cream!

Simple. The gelatin set a little too hard. I would make this again with a little less gelatin. Otherwise yummy and it reminded us of desserts that we've had long ago.
