Pantyhose Tea? Edit

The intriguingly named brew is so called because it’s prepared by repeatedly straining the drink through long, brown filters that look like pantyhose. Making the tea, a traditional and elaborate process, is revered almost as a work of art in this former British colony.

Pantyhose tea is regarded as the smoothest, silkiest version of Hong Kong’s favorite drink—creamy milk tea, which is made with evaporated milk and a heavy dose of tea leaves. It’s nothing like watered-down English tea.
