Clear glass filled with pink creamy liquid, with flecks of strawberry, ice and chunks of jasmine tea jelly floating throughout. There's a metal straw in the cup.

Strawberry Milk Tea

This strawberry milk tea is fruity and creamy, which might sound questionable at first, but instead ends up being both refreshing and decadent at the same time.

Recipe Notes

I used jasmine tea jelly as the topping for the batch that is photographed here; I used this recipe (deliciousnotgorgeous.com/lychee-dessert/) for lychee jelly, substituting the lychee juice for sugar.
