How do I make Burmese milk tea?

 Four varieties of Burmese milk tea


Burmese tea houses may be found all around Myanmar thanks to the country's distinctive tea tradition. Teahouses are frequently crowded with guests, and people enjoy going there to drink tea, dine, and converse.

Lah-phat-yay is the name of a kind of milk tea from Burma. The best Burmese milk tea should be made using Burmese black tea, which should be dark, robust, and somewhat smoky, along with a mixture of evaporated milk and condensed milk. One of the greatest alternatives to Burmese black tea is strong Assam tea. (I enjoy drinking Tata tea Gold.)

Depending on the amount of condensed milk and evaporated milk added to a cup of tea, there are more than 10 different varieties of Burmese milk tea. Noe Sein Tea () is a sugar-free beverage for diabetics. See the recipe and videos for the four most popular varieties of Burmese milk tea below.
