The Cheese Foam Tea Recipe

For 2 Servings

Ingredients for the Tea

  • 2 tsp. of tea of your choice
  • 12oz water
  • 1 cup of ice

Ingredients for the Cheese Foam

  • 3oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbs. sugar
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • ¼ cup half and half or milk

The Method

There are two separate stages here. The first involves brewing the tea, while the second shows how to make the cheese foam layer.

Making the Tea

Step 1: Heat the water to a suitable temperature for the tea that you are using.

Step 2: Put the tea leaves in a jug and add the hot water.

Step 3: Allow the leaves to steep for the recommended time. Since you will be adding ice to the drink, you may want to let the leaves steep for longer. The tea won’t get as diluted then.

Step 4: Strain the leaves out and add the ice to the tea. Allow it to cool and place it in the refrigerator.

Making the Cheese Foam

Step 1: Place the cream cheese and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Beat the ingredients with a hand mixer set to high for about 3 minutes. The resulting mix should be nice and smooth. 

Step 3: Add the half and half (or milk) and whipping cream. Set the hand mixer to high and beat for about 3 minutes. The mix should be liquid but thick and frothy.

Putting It Altogether

Step 1: Divide the tea into two glasses. 

Step 2: Carefully spoon the cream mixture on the surface so that a separate layer is created. Make sure that there is a column of equal height in each glass.

Step 3: Enjoy! It is best that you don’t mix or combine the two layers when drinking.
