Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.

Add the loose black tea or tea bags to the boiling water. Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes.

While the tea is brewing, combine the ube halaya with a bit of hot water in a separate bowl.

Once the tea has brewed, strain it into a large cup or bowl. Stir in the prepared ube mixture until fully combined.

Pour in the milk and add sugar to taste.

If you prefer iced tea, allow the mixture to cool, then pour it over ice.

For a frothy texture, whisk or froth the milk before adding it to the tea.

Pour the ube milk tea into two cups, add more ice if desired, and enjoy.
