Brew a pot of rose black tea with milk, and meet the gentle embrace of winter

YuanJia131

It's getting cold, and I really want a warm drink to soothe my chilly heart.
Today, I specially brewed my first winter cup of milk tea, free from complicated recipes. With a pinch of black tea leaves and a few dried roses, I slowly steeped them to release their fragrance, then blended it with rich fresh milk. No overpowering sweetness—only the warmth of black tea, the delicate fragrance of roses, and the softness of milk. One sip, and warmth spreads from the tip of the tongue to the heart.
How to Make Rose Milk Tea
Ingredients: black tea, dried double-petaled roses, fresh milk
Method: Brew strong tea by steeping black tea leaves and roses together with boiling water, then filter out the residue. Add fresh milk and heat it. For those who prefer sweetness, a small amount of brown sugar can be added.

Many say milk tea is a sweet delight, but I prefer to see it as a nourishing beverage in harmony with nature. Black tea is warming, perfect for soothing the spleen and stomach in winter; rose helps regulate liver qi, easing the pent-up tensions we often accumulate amidst busyness. This floral fragrance gently smooths the creases in our hearts. With less sugar and a focus on the pure essence of ingredients, we drink tea, flowers, and a moment to slow down.
As Mr. Chen Baisha said, "Nature is the foundation." All things have their own rhythm—this holds true for brewing tea and living life. As the water slowly boils and the fragrance gradually releases, our hearts also settle down gently.
May you also have a warm cup of tea to accompany you, adding warmth in the cold and filling your heart with the fragrance of flowers.
