Moon House Tea Recipes!

Tuesday and I get regularly asked about our tea preferences, and we mainly make tea recipes, like chai and London Fogs! So this is our online 'recipe book'!

Some tea notes first:

• Tea quality, milk, and sugar all matter in tea recipes, so expect to tweak the recipes to your needs and ingredients!
• We drink ~50% sugar in our boba orders if that helps you think about how we think about sugar.
• CTC and looseleaf are different types of looseleaf tea. CTC refers to 'cut-tear-curl' and makes for Very Stronk Tea.

Where we buy tea!

• One Stripe Chai: We get our CTC Assam from them!
• Diaspora Co.: They make both a solid masala chai and chai masala (or masala spice blend with or without tea added)! We use their masala chai for low spoons chai days.
• Miro Tea: We like their Harmutty Assam!

The Tea Recipes!

• London Fogs and Assam Tea Lattes!: Use Earl Grey to get a London Fog, and Assam or black tea for a black tea latte! We halve the sugar and up to double the vanilla depending on the day!
• Milk tea!: Our Moon House milk tea is based on this recipe, but we've modified it a ton over the years to suit our needs. It's still a great base to start from!
• Cold brew tea!: This article is more a discussion than a recipe, but it's super easy and so nice in the summer to make tea in the morning and have it ready in the afternoon!
• Our chai recipe is the video below by Chetna Makan! We make Diaspora Co's masala chai on low spoons days, and Chetna Makan's recipe when we're up for more of a tea process. Both are great!

And as a bonus, we occasionally make this Korean style milk tea, which we affectionately call The Beast because it is *stronk*. Expect to heavily modify the recipe as it's very sweet and very intense for us, but it's really fun when we're up for it!
