    They're peanuts or sesame seeds candy bars . The peanut one is huā shēng táng in Chinese . You can either eat along side of the tea or dip in the tea but the best way to enjoy both tea and snack is eat snack first (because it's so much sweet ) and then drink the tea . You'll see heaven even though you're still alive .

    You can probably substitute a mixture of rice milk and almond milk (like Silk brand). Or you could even try using horchata, which you can purchase as a concentrate or even ready made in some grocery stores. Look in the health foods and international isles.

    Nicely done and beautiful. Just want to point out one thing. Although "干杯“ (kanpai) literally means to "empty/dry your cup", I dont think any Chinese will say that while drinking almond tea. Its only used for a toast of alcoholic drinks.

  • @joannemaful
    @joannemaful11 жыл бұрын

    The cookie with an almond is basically Chinese almond "shortbread" and is slightly sweet with a kiss of almond. The white and black rectangular bonbons are sesame seed "brittle" made from sesame seeds and rock sugar, but be warned, for most are quite hard to bite into! The pink and white clusters are peanuts and sugar. I recommend having almond milk with cashew biscuits.

    If you replace almond and rice with soybeans ,It'll be soy milk /tonyu . The best part of this recipe is you can do it with almost every beans -like red beans,black beans ,mung beans .Even corns (fresh sweet corns ) can use this recipe to make Corn milk.

Its basically tea mixed with condensed milk but trust me, it tastes really good! Oh and if you want it to be cold, go ahead. Add a couple of ice cubes. Maybe thumbs this up so they will see this? Thanks :) Btw awesome videos guys good job! Greetings from Singapore.
