Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cooked taro root, peeled and cubed, OR 2 tbsp taro powder
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, or milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 black tea bags
  • Ice cubes, for serving

Method
 

  1. Steep the tea bags in the hot water for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove and let the tea cool slightly.
  2. Blend the taro, milk, and condensed milk until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in the taro mixture, then add the cooled tea. Stir gently and serve right away.

Notes

If you start with fresh taro, peel and boil it until fork-tender, about 15 minutes, then let it cool before blending. That extra cook time is not reflected in the prep above, so plan ahead.
