Three Layer Teh Tarik In Sarawak

One specialty at Sarawak Waterfront is the three layered teh tarik. Its interesting to watch how the drink was blended and on the last visit I decided to take pictures to show how it was prepared. On the first night with my friend I was arguing about which layer was poured in first. My agrument was tea was poured in first and followed by milk. Since milk is denser than tea, so the tea will be pushed up the glass forming the upper layer. When my friend asked what about the froth, I was blank. 

The next evening, we went again to the Waterfront and this time I decided to take pictures on how it is prepared. 

First milk was prepared and the "tarik" process was done. This is to build up the froth or buih.

milk was poured into the glass.

Then only tea is poured onto a spoon to soften the flow. Tea will overflow on the spoon and because of that, tea just floats on the layer of milk and settled under the froth. 

Three layered teh tarik is ready. To drink it, you have to spoil the layers. What to do, you are not just going top see the three layers but to drink it. So stir it to mix the milk and tea.
