Brew tea, let it cool completely, then stir it into cold milk and sweeten to taste. Add ice just before serving so it does not dilute the drink as it melts.
No, cold milk tea is simply chilled tea mixed with milk; bubble tea usually includes chewy tapioca pearls and may have other toppings. You can add pearls to cold milk tea, but they are not required.
Strong black tea is a classic choice for cold milk tea because its flavor stands up to milk. Assam or Ceylon work well; green tea makes a lighter version, but avoid over-steeping it to keep it from tasting bitter.
Yes, cold milk tea made with black or green tea contains caffeine. The amount varies with the tea and how strongly it is brewed, and adding milk does not remove the caffeine.
Keep homemade cold milk tea in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it within 1–2 days. Do not leave a milk-based drink at room temperature for an extended time, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, green tea works in cold milk tea and gives it a lighter, less malty flavor than black tea. Brew it gently and cool it before adding milk, since over-steeping can make green tea taste bitter.
Milk can separate in cold milk tea if it is old or if acidic ingredients such as lemon are added. Use fresh milk, avoid citrus, and mix the milk gradually into cooled tea.
Yes, oat, soy, or almond milk can be used in cold milk tea. Their flavor and texture vary, so choose an unsweetened option if you want to control the drink’s sweetness.
Yes, you can brew and chill the tea ahead, then mix it with milk shortly before serving. Keeping the tea and milk separate until then helps preserve the tea’s flavor and makes it easier to adjust the milkiness.
Cold milk tea can be an everyday drink if you make it with little or no added sweetener. Many café versions are heavily sweetened, so a homemade version lets you keep the sweetness in check.

Cold milk tea combines brewed tea, cooled and mixed with milk, with a little sweetness. It is a broad style of drink rather than a recipe tied to one place: versions are enjoyed in many countries, while the milk, tea strength and sweetness vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The tea’s gentle tannic edge is softened by creamy milk, and serving it over ice makes it especially refreshing. Have it as an afternoon drink or alongside a light snack; it also works well with a sandwich. At 43 calories per 100 g, it is relatively light as prepared here, and you can make it lighter still by using less sweetener.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
