Tea, pulled from jug to jug till frothy, with condensed milk, hot, in a cup and saucer. Teh: Tea, strong and brewed through a cloth sock. (no O or C): Condensed milk: thick and sweet, so it’s the sugar too. tarik: Pulled: poured from high up between two jugs till it froths.
Say “Teh tarik”: the drink, then the milk (O or C), then how strong, how sweet and hot or cold. Iced, it’s “Teh tarik peng”. To take it away, it’s “Teh tarik tapau”.
Yes, it’s the sweet one: the condensed milk is the sugar. Say siew dai for less, or C kosong for none.
2 pours of teh, 2 squeezes of condensed milk, pull it, hot. Every stall pours its own, so it’s a picture, not a measure.
Teh tarik is pulled till frothy; Teh is plain: tea with condensed milk, hot, in a cup and saucer.
