  • I drink this frequently. Instead of frothing the tea in a blender, I do it by hand. Hold a mug in each hand, with the tea in one of the mugs. Pour the tea from a height into the empty mug. Do this a few times till the tea is frothy. We call this teh tarik or pulled tea.

  • I usually forgo the tea altogether and just brew fresh ginger, lemon and lots of honey, sometimes with a little thyme. Perfect for staving off a cold!
