What is Peach Cheese Foam Tea?
Cheese tea is a drink popular in Asia, specifically in Taiwan. They are now sold in boba shops or bubble tea shops around the world including Los Angeles, Singapore, Malaysia, and San Francisco to name a few.
It usually contains cold black tea, oolong tea, or green tea that’s been slightly sweetened then it’s topped with a rich and creamy cheese foam with a consistency of a cheese mousse. The flavors are surprisingly complementary and thus the popularity.
This cheese tea recipe adds a twist by using Peach green tea then topped with a cream cheese foam that’s made from cream cheese, not powder or cheese powder.
How to drink cheese tea?
The correct way to drink cheese tea is not to mix the cheese foam with the cold tea. Instead, keeping the layers intact, you drink straight from the cup, tilting the cup at a 45-degree angle, then sipping a bit of the cheese foam along with the cold tea. Therefore, there’s no straw needed for this drink.
Cheese tea vs. boba tea?
Cheese tea just refers to cold tea topped with a cheese foam layer. Boba tea includes any type of boba tea drink with tapioca pearls. Cheese tea may or may not have boba depending on your preference.
Where did cheese tea come from?
Cheese tea originated from the nightmarkets of Taiwan. It was made using powdered cheese, salt and cream.
