![]() ![]() I really like using whole milk, since my usual soy milk doesn’t have the same kind of decadence, though any milk you like works here. If you’re not in the mood for milk tea (now or maybe ever), or perhaps your body also cannot handle caffeine after a certain time of day (hello there!), you can use unadulterated milk instead. The boba is super chewy and the toffee is crackly and brittle, perfect with all that silky custard. The crème brûlée is so creamy and dense that each slurp you get full of it feels like you’re hitting the jackpot. It’s in the name, so it’s pretty important. The strong, roast-y milk tea is a good foundation for all those sweet toppings to come, and honestly, the plain milk tea is already delicious. If you can’t comprehend all these parts together, maybe I can help you out a bit. You might be getting flashbacks to those kids at the froyo bar getting the tiniest plop of yogurt and 12 ounces of toppings, and I can hear some people saying, custard and boba and toffee?! I assure you, they’re all necessary. I would also recommend adding one big of scoop of pudding per cup rather than breaking that same amount into smaller spoonfuls, since this also makes it more likely that the pudding will get broken up. Otherwise, the pudding breaks down and gets lost in the drink. Mix the boba, ice and milk tea first, then add the pudding and candy. This is a little misleading, so follow the below order instead. I know the pictures look like the order is: boba, pudding, ice, milk tea, candy. If you can only find chocolate covered ones, you can shave off the chocolate with a vegetable peeler. ![]() Something like a hard Werthers caramel, or a Skor bar, but ideally not a chocolate-covered Heath bar unless you’re the kind of person who gets their boba extra sweet. So I suggest you buy some caramel or toffee from the grocery store, and crush it up if it isn’t already. However, I’m betting you don’t want to mother hen over four different pots for one drink – or I know that I don’t, and I’d be two seconds away from hopping into my car to drive to San Mateo if I had to. You could make your own torched sugar bits on top to really mimic Urban Ritual’s version of this drink. Now for the last topping: the crispy toffee. The boba gets seasoned with a little brown sugar and salt to make sure it’s not bland when you chew on them. I’d recommend buying 5 minute boba from a Chinese or Asian grocery store, otherwise it can take up to a few hours to cook other kinds of boba. We’re almost there – the boba just takes patience and time to cook, even though you don’t have to do much. Instead, I like using milk, since it makes for a strong and creamy milk tea, like this red bean milk tea or this coffee milk tea. I personally don’t like using water to steep the tea, since the texture and flavor isn’t that great. ![]() So don’t worry if it’s not as set as the desserts you may have had before! The custard might seem a little jiggly and underdone when you pull it out of the oven, especially if you aren’t comfy with this kind of recipe or you’re a worrier (hi, let’s be friends).Īs long as it’s not straight up liquidy, it will firm up a little more in the fridge overnight, and be more scoopable. I only have a container that is more on the narrow and deep side, so it takes longer than a shallow ramekin with a bigger diameter. If you don’t have ramekins you can use another heatproof container, so long as you keep an eye on the baking time. The water bath helps the custard cook slowly and evenly, so that it comes out as smooth and creamy as possible. Heavy cream, vanilla, egg yolks and sugar get mixed together, then baked in a water bath. If you’re equally obsessed with the crème brûlée milk tea from Urban Ritual, then you’re in for a treat! How to Make Itįirst things first, the crème brûlée. ![]()
