What happens is, when you're a coffee person but your Mr isn't, you compromise. So I started drinking milk tea with coffee. Guess what, it's addictive.
Of course, I had to make milk tea goodies. For this, you would need Instant Milk Tea Sachets. Your favorite brand.
Recipe from Epicurious adapted for the milk tea version.
For the white frosting, just combine icing sugar with enough milk for desired consistency.
These muffins are lovely. See that red'ish color? That's milk tea for you.
And (drumroll...) Its healthy! (For me anyways).
Lastly, look at these pins below.
I don't know about you, but I need these! They arrived in my mail two days ago, thank you so much Mrs Ferguson and her handicraft work. Can't wait to use them! As a matter of fact, I may have annoyed people so I can show these babies off.
Thank you!

Thank you!

I don't drink coffee or tea but I love them both in desserts. Milk tea muffins sound delicious - in fact I could do with one right now!
ReplyDelete@ thelittleloaf: oh! I remember. you're the only person who doesn't drink coffee nor tea! :D The oatmeal muffin version on its own is pretty awesome!
DeleteI love coffee, tea, and milk tea is something I enjoy too. My husband finds coffee too much caffeine for him so we enjoy milk tea afternoons when we are together...This is a real treat! Thanks for the recipe Jes!
ReplyDelete@ MyFudo: Thank you! Milk tea is one of those drinks i have every weekend as a kid. Its sweet, smells great. Now that I've met coffee, I've seldom drank tea until recently. Its good to be back ;D
DeleteYour muffins look marvelous! And I can't wait to hear the reaction when you wear those pins...too funny!
ReplyDelete@ Lizzy: Lots of rolls eyes, lots of tackle-you-to-the-ground, lots of laughs. Mostly tackle-you-to-the-ground :D
DeleteWhat delicious muffins! I'm a huge muffin fan and I'd definitely give them a try.
ReplyDelete@ Beth: please do. One of the best things about this recipe from epicurious is pre-soaking the oatmeals. As they bake, they blend and turn the muffin into this pudding'y crumbly texture :D
DeleteI don't drink coffee much, and when I do I usually add some milk to it.
ReplyDeleteI like my black tea with milk but I don't think I've seen milk tea sachets. Hmmm I have to check the tea and spice store in the area.
Your muffins would be great at breakfast time
@ Roxana: I realised not many actually know what milk tea was. Will find a few sachets :D (you will be able to find them more in the big groceries)
DeleteMilk tea! I've only ever seen it in my Harvest Moon gameboy game (uber-dork confession, right there.) These muffins look fabulous :)
ReplyDelete@ Parsley: HAHA! I've played gameboy once, no worries ;) (although not anymore)
DeleteThese look lovely! What's milk tea though...I've never seen it at the supermarket but it sounds interesting. I love the little stripy wrappers too! :-)
ReplyDelete@ Laura: I'm shocked the number of people who has never seen milk tea. They're something i drink everyday as a kid :D I guess it's just an asian thing...
DeleteYours looks splendid!
ReplyDelete@ love2dine: Thank you! yours too!! :D
DeleteThese look lovely, and I really like those little muffin cases.
ReplyDelete@ Lottie: Thank you! Those muffin cases are from long ago :D
DeleteI've never heard of Milk Tea. But your muffins look delicious!
ReplyDelete@ Jennifer: Thank you! :)
DeleteThese muffins look lovely - and would suit me perfectly as I´m as much as a tea as a coffee person! But I´m definetely a muffin person, anyways! Goodies come first, coffee or tea secondly! ;) I don´t think I can get my hands on milk tea around here, though...

ReplyDelete@ iheartcakes: Definitely!! Although I would need my coffee/tea daily. I've recently posted how to make your own milk tea as many of you told me not ever hearing such a childhood drink!! :D
DeleteHello, these look delicous.But in Turkey we dont have milk tea..You have very lovely blog.Now I am following you.
ReplyDelete@ Nursen Aksoy: Thank you! I do realize milk tea are not available..
DeleteHi! Do you really taste the milk tea in them? :) thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! Do you really taste the milk tea flavor in these? :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes. Very much so. I do feel that mixing the milk tea sachets in hot water before adding them to the rest of the ingredients would bring out that milk tea fragrance we all desire.
