Notes
If lactose intolerant, you can make Ginger Milk Tea with just the tea bag or swap it with soy or oat milk. I personally love using 2% milk as I find that it provides the perfect amount of creaminess and richness. The only plant-based milk I wouldn’t recommend for this ginger milk tea is coconut milk. I find that coconut milk leaves a thick residue at the top of your month when combined with ginger.
