Mongolian milk tea
Gluten-Free
4 Servings, 180 Calories/Serving
35–45 Minutes
Known as suutei tsai, this warming drink is enjoyed in gers, or yurts, across the Mongolian steppe. Made from milk steeped with green tea and toasted millet, the authentic version is deeply savory, tangy, and, to be frank, an acquired taste. For this Sun Basket spin, our pastry chef Paul caramelizes the millet with a little sugar, which adds complexity and faint sweetness. For an even easier version, skip the caramelizing step and melt the sugar directly into the milk tea at the end.
