Malaysia
Teh tarik is the speciality tea of Malaysia, which translates to “pulled tea.” It combines frothed black tea with milk and sugar. It was first made by a wave of Indian-Muslim immigrants in Malaysia after the Second World War who would set up drink stands for workers at plantations.
Watching the tea being mixed and frothed is all part of the entertainment if you order one of these in Malaysia. It requires an expert level of craftsmanship and is similar to watching a barman mix cocktails. The tea is poured back and forth many times between two cups from a height, cooling it down and giving it a frothy top.
