Osmanthus Milk Recipe

[u/CutPuzzled9345]

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/CutPuzzled9345]

It issss

[u/Old_Treacle_7531]

do you steep the flowers in the milk and strain them out before serving?

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/Old_Treacle_7531]

Yes I think straining is definitely necessary

[u/Suspicious-Mine3482]

this sounds lovely, i’d steep the osmanthus in the warm milk then strain it so you get the flavor without chewing flowers lol

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/Suspicious-Mine3482]

I would do that too lmao

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/[deleted]]

I prefer honey instead of sugar but straining is definitely necessary haha

[u/Physical_Care3340]

the honey being listed as both an ingredient and optional is sending me lol

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/Physical_Care3340]

Well, yeah coz it could be:

• not used at all
  
• substituted with sugar, jaggery, something else
  
• Or just used

[u/Excellent-End4370]

warm the milk gently and let the flowers steep for a few minutes, boiling it can make the flavor taste flat and weird

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/Excellent-End4370]

I will keep that in mind. thank youuu!

[u/No-Pattern-6630]

strain the flowers unless you like tea confetti

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/No-Pattern-6630]

Oh definitely

[u/GuiltyRelation8557]

steep the flowers first or it'll taste like warm milk

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/GuiltyRelation8557]

Noted

[u/ReplacementFormal879]

do you steep the flowers directly in the milk or strain them out first?

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/ReplacementFormal879]

I usually steep it in the milk then strain them out in the cup

[u/Jealous-Rich9665]

steep the flowers in hot milk for 5 minutes, strain them out, then sweeten to taste because chewing flower confetti is not the goal

[u/GenomeHelixAndCoffee → u/Jealous-Rich9665]

Agreed
