Aren't mandarin ducks birds? Why do Hong Kong people drink mandarin ducks? I'm scared when I hear it.

The drink, known as Kopi Cham in Malaysia, was originally served in dai pai dongs (open-air food vendors) and tengs (cafes).

The actual name of this coffee mixture refers to the mandarin duck, which is a symbol of love between husband and wife in Chinese culture.

As birds appear in pairs, males and females look very different from each other, so naming takes advantage of the symbol system of "opposing attraction".

Yuanyang tea is a popular drink in Hong Kong. It combines the taste of coffee and tea into a delicious and powerful energy drink.

As we all know, Hong Kong people are fast-paced and diligent people, so they will combine strong black coffee with equally strong black milk tea. This name is also directly translated as "Lovebirds Tea", in other words:

Coffee + tea 4 eva.

The technical ratio is from three coffees to seven black milk teas, but we decided to use half the allocation to make things easier. In addition, we are a family of coffee addicts, so more sweet black gold, the more the better!

Prepare materials:

Espresso (single or double cups to suit your taste)

2-3 teaspoons of red tea

Sweetened condensed milk (if too sweet, add ordinary milk)

How to make a Yuanyang

Boil the water.

Add tea or tea bag and cook for about 3 minutes.

Add coffee or an espresso. If you are going to use regular milk, if you like a little sweetness in the coffee, you can add a little sugar.

Filter and add sweetened condensed milk (regular milk, if you like).

You can have a cup of mandarin duck on the ice hot or cold.
