Ingredients

For the cheese foam:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons water

For the iced black tea latte:

  • 6 bags black tea, I use Assam and Ceylon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

For the cheese foam:

  • In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer whisk the cream cheese, sugar and salt until the cream cheese is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the cream and beat until thick, about an additional 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water to thin the cheese foam.
  • Transfer to a bowl or resealable container until ready to use.

For the iced black tea latte:

  • Bring 6 cups of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Add the tea bags and sugar and let steep for 5 minutes or until it’s the strength of preference. Squeeze as much water from the tea bags as possible and then discard the tea bags.
  • Transfer the tea to a pitcher, cover and refrigerate until chilled and ready to use, at least 2 hours.

For serving the cheese foam milk tea:

  • When ready to serve, fill a glass with ice and add brewed black tea. Add ¼ cup of whole milk and top with a scoop of cheese foam.
