        Decadent Milk Tea with Brown Sugar

        Make your tea time creamy and sweet with milk tea. Super simple and delicious, my milk tea recipe is made special with half and a half and brown sugar. Milk Tea What is milk tea? In it’s most basic form, it’s tea with milk. That’s it. Oh, but wait, there’s more. Sure, you’ve got tea with a splash of milk but milk tea comes in a lot of different forms.
