Grapefruit Jasmine Green Tea

Published on: 12/09/2023

One of the most high effort recipes, I remember peeling 18 grapefruits and removing all the fibres by hand, extracting just the pulp to make it for RC4’s IG fair. Very refreshing drink though, well worth it.

Ingredients (for 1 person)

• 2 Jasmine green tea bags (I used Dilmah’s Jasmine Green Tea)
• 100 mL of hot water
• 30 mL of fresh milk (I used Greenfield’s)
• 4 tsp Taro powder (I used Redman’s)
• 2 tbsp of creamer (I used Coffeemate’s)

If you want to add in pearls, these are the ingredients you will need:

• Brown sugar
• Pearl (I got it from Redman)
• Water

Instructions

To make the pearls:

1. boil the water and add in the pearls. Boil for approximately 30 minutes, then let it rest for 10 minutes. Afterwards, strain the pearls into a container.
2. Dissolve liberal amounts of brown sugar in water and add it to a pan. Reduce the sugar water slightly and add in the pearls to cook further, until the pearls are sweet and the syrup is thick.

To make the taro milk tea:

1. Steep the jasmine green tea bags in hot water for around 2 minutes.
2. Add in the taro powder, creamer, and fresh milk. Mix well and enjoy it with ice.
