1. 1

   Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan.

   Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea. Stir well to ensure all the tea is submerged.

   Ongeveer 1 min

3. 3

   Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: For a stronger tea, you can steep for up to 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof pitcher or jar, discarding the tea leaves.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure no tea leaves remain for a smooth drink.

5. 5

   Add the granulated sugar to the hot tea and stir until it is completely dissolved.

   Ongeveer 1 min

6. 6

   Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.

   Ongeveer 1 min

7. 7

   Let the tea cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

   Ongeveer 2 uur

   Tip van de kok: Chilling ensures the ice doesn't melt too quickly and dilute the flavor.

8. 8

   Fill two tall glasses with ice.

9. 9

   Pour the chilled tea over the ice in each glass.

10. 10

    Slowly pour the evaporated milk over the top of each glass of tea. It will create a beautiful layered effect.
