Guava Oolong Cream Cheese Milk Tea

This guava oolong milk tea is tropical, creamy, and completely addictive. The oolong base is brewed strong and allowed to cool before being combined with fresh guava for a drink that is floral, slightly sweet, and deeply refreshing. The cream cheese foam on top is what takes it from good to great salty, rich, and absolutely heavenly with every sip. It is the kind of drink you see at a good bubble tea shop and immediately want to recreate at home. Once you make it yourself, you will have a hard time ordering it out again.

Ingredients

Oolong Tea

• 3g oolong tea powder
• 30g hot water

Guava Cream Top

• 1 tbsp guava jam
• 1 tbsp cream cheese
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 2 tbsp milk of choice

Method

1. 1 Whisk the oolong powder with hot water until smooth and fully dissolved. Set aside.
2. 2 In a small bowl, whisk guava jam, cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
3. 3 Add guava jam to the bottom of a glass, then fill the glass with ice and milk.
4. 4 Slowly pour the prepared oolong tea over the milk to create layers.
5. 5 Spoon the guava cream on top and serve.

Tips & Notes

Brew the oolong strong about double the usual amount of tea leaves. The cream cheese foam is the star here, so don't rush the whipping process. Fresh guava juice is ideal but a good quality guava nectar works too.
