Hong Kong-style Coffee with Sweetened Tea (Yuanyanga)
Java lovers in tea-obsessed Hong Kong can find the perfect compromise in this palate-teasing beverage: It combines robust drip coffee with milk tea, a long-steeped brew of Ceylon tea, milk, and sugar. The quirky fifty-fifty blend is soft yet tannic, with a mellow jolt of caffeine.Michael Kraus

Soothing milk tea blends beautifully with the assertive flavors of coffee in this popular Hong Kong drink. This recipe first appeared in our Jan/Feb 2013 issue along with our article The World of Coffee.
