Looking for a unique and refreshing summer dessert? Look no further than this Lemon Black Tea Jelly & Milk! This viral treat is taking social media by storm, and for good reason. It's the perfect blend of aromatic black tea, a hint of zesty lemon, and a delightfully chewy jelly texture, all topped off with creamy milk. Plus, it's incredibly easy to make at home!

Here's what you'll need:

1 ¾ cups (300 ml) water
2 lemon slices
1 black tea bag (or 7g loose black tea leaves)
2 tablespoons rock sugar (adjust to your preference)
2 tablespoons agar-agar powder (or a substitute like starch containing gelatin)
⅓ cup (30 ml) milk
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Easy Step-by-Step Instructions:

In a pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the black tea bag, lemon slices, and rock sugar. Allow the mixture to steep for a few minutes, infusing the water with the tea and lemon flavors.
Remove the tea bag and lemon slices. Add the agar-agar powder to the pot while stirring constantly. This ensures the powder dissolves evenly and prevents clumping. Bring the mixture back to a boil.
Once simmering, carefully strain the tea mixture into a glass container. This will create a smooth jelly base. Allow the mixture to cool. As it cools, it will solidify into a jelly-like consistency.
Once set, cut the black tea jelly into cubes or any shape you desire.
Pour the milk over the jelly pieces.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal.

There you have it! Sit back, relax, and savor the incredible fusion of flavors in this Lemon Black Tea Jelly & Milk. It's the ultimate summer treat to beat the heat and satisfy your sweet tooth without being overly heavy.
