Did you know there is an art to pulling tea, with competitions held for the best showmanship? Try a cup at a local mamak stall (The Malaysian Mamak are Malaysians of Tamil Muslim origin). Instant sachets make a great gift for a tea lover.
The Tarik is one of the unique authentic Malaysian Cultures that has transcended beyond race, culture and religion and play a significant role in the daily lives of an ordinary Malaysian. Originating from Malaysia the amazing local beverage is now famous all over the world and it holds a special place in the hearts of those who enjoy it.
The preparation of this delicious Teh Tarik is fun as it is made by transferring it from one mug into another, lifting it as high as possible. In Malaysia, there are occasions where Teh Tarik brewers gather for competitions and performances to show their skills. Teh Tarik is now recognized by the government as an important part of Malaysia’s food heritage and have organized several campaigns and activities to promote its practice.
Teh Tarik has also surpassed its roadside days and found its way into local mamak, restaurants, shopping malls and coffee house in five-star hotels. If you come to Malaysia, of course drink Teh Tarik.

Ingredients: 3 tsp ceylon tea, 2 tsp condensed milk (sweetened), 250 ml water & little bit salt
Steep Ceylon tea in hot water for 3 minutes. Pour tea into a large mug. Add condensed milk using a spoon which is placed in salt water. This is to add some saltiness to the tea.
Pull the tea by transferring it from one large mug to another. Try not to exceed 5 times or the tea might turn cold. To make the tea frothier, pull the tea several times as high as possible but be cautious. Increase the ingredients according to the number of servings. Tea leaves can be steeped up to 3 times.
