Instructions

In a medium sized pot, add about 4 cups of water and bring it to a low boil. Remove from heat. Add black tea leaves to the water. Let it steep for at least 5 minutes.

Allow the tea to cool down before straining.

While the tea is cooling, make the brown sugar syrup. In a small pot, add brown sugar and water and melt the sugar over low heat. Stir to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Let the brown sugar cool to thicken.

Pour the cooled tea into a glass and top with half and half, whole milk, or non dairy milk of choice.

Spoon the brown sugar syrup and drizzle it over the sides of the glass. Add grass jelly to the drink.

Serve the brown sugar milk tea with grass jelly and crushed ice.
