02Steps
  1. Bring the water to a rolling boil in a pot.
  2. Add the black tea leaves to the boiling water. Lower the heat and let it simmer and steep.
  3. Strain the steeped tea through a fine-mesh sieve or a traditional Hong Kong-style "sock" filter into a serving container, pressing the leaves to extract all liquid. Discard the tea leaves.
  4. Gently heat the evaporated milk in a separate saucepan over low heat until warm, but do not boil.
  5. Pour the hot strained tea into cups. Gradually add the warm evaporated milk to the tea, stirring gently. If desired, stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved. Serve hot.
