طريقة التحضير
تحميل PDFUsing 1 tablespoon from the 50g butter, lightly grease the base and sides of a medium pot to prevent the milk from catching. Pour in the milk and add 3 tbsp sugar, tea bags and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5–6 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to infuse.
Place the flour, remaining 50g butter, baking powder and salt into a bowl and rub the butter into the flour between your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Remove and discard the tea bags and cinnamon from the milk before putting it back on the heat. Gradually sprinkle the flour mixture over the milk, a tablespoon at a time, whisking it slowly. Continue to do this until you’ve used all the flour, being careful not to mix too vigorously as you still want the texture.
Simmer gently for approx. 5–10 minutes on low heat until thick and creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk, if preferred.
Spoon into two bowls and top with a generous spoonful of sugar, a sprinkle of cinnamon and finish it off with a knob of butter for extra richness.
Serve immediately.
