At first I wasn't sure if I liked this so much but it grew on me. I made a lot so there was leftovers. I enjoyed it more the next day after being refrigerated for a day. I don't know if I was more in the mood for it or it actually got better sitting there but I did like it quite a bit the second day.

I could not find the pekoe tea so instead, I just got a random black tea. The black tea was not strong enough, I was so disappointed. However, an idea came to me. I boiled the tea leaves in water for a while, then I left it on med-low heat for half an hour. The taste of the black tea was so much stronger. It made a huge difference! Then I added all the other ingredients and it was perfect. It really reminded me of the milk tea I had in Hong Kong. Thanks for sharing the ingredient!!

Wow, it was better than what I had expected. Perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness. An excellent formula. I used the exact recipe and directions. I made enough to fill my pitcher. Tonight I am cooking Asian. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it. My cousins and I made this tea a few weeks ago, and used plain milk in it; it tasted so great!

I guess orange pekoe tea is just a medium grade black tea, but I thought it meant orange spice black tea. It's good with either! I used the full amount of honey and sweetened condensed milk.

Excellent tea!! thank you for sharing. For those who had a tough time finding Pekoe tea, it is found under the Lipton brand in Asian supermarkets. I added boba to the tea and it tastes even better than what I can buy at the tea shops!!

I had all the ingredients on hand so I decided to make this. It is very soothing and delicious. It reminds me of the bubble tea I have had at the Mall but minus the bubbles!

Sweet enough, and strong enough that when your ice cubes melt, you'll never notice a change in flavor!

wow thanx for this recipe! it reminds me of some good old souvenirs of my grandpa drinking milk tea! I did find it a tad too sweet: 1tbs of condensed milk and 1tbs of honey was just perfect!
