Hong Kong-style Milk Tea Making Technique Demonstration and Experiential Workshop
Hong Kong-style milk tea is nicknamed "silk stocking milk tea". To make the beverage, it involves mixing the tea leaves, boiling and infusing the tea, force-pouring the tea, infusion and force-pouring the tea into the milk etc. The beverage is a local favourite amongst Hong Kong people. The techniques of making Hong Kong-style milk tea do not only illustrate the integration and development of Chinese and Western food cultures in Hong Kong, but also reflect the aspects of everyday life and food preferences of locals. In this event, a seasoned milk tea master would walk participants through the history and development of Hong Kong-style milk tea. Demonstrations of the brewing techniques will also be shown alongside sharing of personal experiences and knowhows. Participants can also have a go on making their own Hong Kong style milk tea.
