What is teh tarik?

Teh tarik, which means "pulled tea" in Malay, is a popular hot milk tea beverage in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. It is made by pouring hot black tea and sweetened condensed milk back and forth between two containers from a height, which creates a frothy, creamy texture. This process also helps to cool down the tea and mix the ingredients together.

Teh tarik is typically enjoyed as a breakfast or afternoon snack, and is often served with local dishes such as roti canai or nasi lemak. It is also a staple at mamak stalls, which are open-air food stalls that serve a variety of Malaysian and Indian dishes.

The popularity of teh tarik has spread beyond Malaysia, and you can now find variations of this drink in other countries such as Singapore, Brunei, and Indonesia. It is known for its rich and creamy taste, as well as the skill and showmanship of the tea puller as they prepare the drink.
