Milk Tea Jam
- 500 ml Milk
- 100 to 120 grams Sugar
- 3 Tea bags
- Put milk and sugar in a pan and heat.
- When the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and add the tea bags.
- Simmer to extract the tea flavor for about 5 minutes.
- Then just simmer the mixture slowly, stirring so that it doesn't get burned on the bottom, slowly so that the tea fragrance doesn't dissipated, and preventing a skin from forming on the top.
- Don't leave the pot unattended and stir for about 1.5 hours until it is reduced to about 200 ml.
- When the jam has reduced and thickened, strain it through a tea strainer or similar to remove any surface skin or lumps.
- Pour into a sterilized jar and its done.
- I used 3 bags of Earl Grey tea this time.
- I think this is best made with a strong fragrant tea.
- Put the milk and sugar in a large heatproof bowl and microwave for 2 minutes at 700W.
- Add the tea bags, and roll the bowl around for about 5 minutes to extract the tea flavor.
- Microwave with the tea bags still in the bowl for another 9 minutes.
- Remove the surface skin.
- Squeeze out the tea bags to extract their flavor and take out.
- Microwave for 3 minutes at 700 W to finish.
- This will result in a smooth, silky jam.
