Pulling Out the Best ‘Pulled Tea’ in Town

There are many ways to savour a cup of tea. Serving it with milk is one of the most well-loved ones. In Singapore (and also Malaysia), our milk tea of choice is teh tarik . Concocted in post-World War II Malaya by Indian-Muslim migrants, the tea is sweetened with condensed and evaporated milk and then poured back and forth between two containers (a method known as pulling) to ensure the beverage is well mixed. The result is teh tarik (pulled tea), a frothy drink not unlike the foamy cappuccino.
