One of our personal favorite drinks from Asia is a simple, yet delicious mix of coffee, tea, milk, and sugar, called Yuanyang 鸳鸯. This coffee-tea mix originated in Hong Kong, but quickly became popular in many surrounding countries like Malaysia and Singapore, where it is referred to as either yuanyang or kopi cham.
As the name implies, our Yuanyang Coffee-Tea Mix consists of just two premium ingredients – Ceylon Tea & Espresso. The smoothness of the tea and the richness of the coffee, mixed with your preferred amount of milk and sugar, makes an addicting drink, especially when served with ice.
For a quick version of Iced Yuanyang, add 1 tsp (or 1 1/2 tsp) of sugar and 1/2 tsp (or 3/4 tsp) of the blend into a 1-Cup measuring cup. Add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water and stir well to fully dissolve. Add 1/2 cup of milk to a mug and microwave until very hot. Pour milk into the 1-cup measuring cup and mix well. Finally, pour drink into a glass of ice. [Yuanyang is most commonly made with sweetened condensed or evaporated milk, but milk & sugar work fine too].
