How to Prepare Peppermint Milk Tea

1. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the peppermint and black tea bags. Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes, depending on desired strength.

3. Remove tea bags and stir in honey or sugar until fully dissolved.
4. Pour the brewed tea into a mug or glass. Add the hot milk and stir until combined.
5. For iced milk tea, let the brewed tea cool slightly before pouring over ice, then add cold milk and sweetener to taste.
6. Top with optional whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy cane for a festive touch.
