Brown Sugar Dalgona Milk Tea
You have to try this Brown Sugar Dalgona Milk Tea if you like brown sugar boba and creamy milk tea. It has the whipped coffee layer you love, but instead of plain milk, it has rich brown sugar syrup and chilled black tea underneath. It tastes like something you would get at a trendy café, but you made it at home in just a few minutes.
I created this one day when I couldn’t choose between dalgona coffee and milk tea, and now I do it all the time. The brown sugar makes it taste like caramel, and the cold tea makes it taste so good.

FAQs
- Is it okay to drink cold brew tea?
- Yes! Just make sure it’s strong enough to handle the coffee and milk.
- Is it okay to use a milk substitute?
- Of course, oat, almond, or soy milk all work well.
- Do I need brown sugar syrup or just regular brown sugar?
- If you need to, you can melt brown sugar in a little water. Syrup gives it that smooth swirl.
- Is this really sweet?
- It’s rich but balanced. If you want the dalgona to be less sweet, you can always cut back on the sugar.
- Can I skip the tea and just do milk?
- Yes, for sure. It will still taste good, but it will be more like a brown sugar latte than a milk tea.
