Social media has become a popular place to look for inspiration, including ideas for drinks that are currently trending. Among many viral beverages, tea is one of the most frequently recreated with various flavour twists.
Compared to other drinks, tea is relatively easy to adapt. The ingredients are easy to find, the preparation is simple, and the taste can be adjusted to personal preference. Tea can also be served hot or cold, making it flexible enough to fit different drink trends.
The good news is that many viral tea drinks don’t always have to be bought outside. Some of them can easily be made at home using simple ingredients and practical steps. Here are a few popular examples.
1. Iced Matcha
Matcha-based drinks often appear in viral drink content. Its bright green colour immediately stands out and easily catches attention on screen.
To make iced matcha at home, Prendjak Instant Matcha Latte can be a practical option. This variant already combines matcha and latte, creating a balanced taste without the need for complicated measurements.
For a smoother cold version, it’s best to dissolve the matcha first using a small amount of hot water until fully mixed. After that, add ice cubes and cold milk according to taste. For a softer flavour, oat milk or almond milk can also be added.
2. Iced Boba Tea
Iced boba tea is another drink that frequently appears in viral content. The combination of tea and boba creates a layered experience, not only in flavour but also in texture.
For a homemade version, Prendjak Wangi Tea Bags can be used as the tea base. Its light character and gentle aroma help balance the sweetness of the boba and added sweeteners.
To keep the flavour balanced, the tea should be brewed slightly stronger before adding ice. The boba is cooked separately until chewy, then added once the tea has cooled. If you prefer a creamier taste, a small amount of milk can be added without overpowering the tea.
3. Iced Milk Tea with Palm Sugar
Iced milk tea with palm sugar has also gained attention thanks to its sweet flavour with subtle caramel notes. This combination feels familiar on the palate and is often chosen as a creamier alternative to regular iced tea.
For a homemade version, Prendjak Wangi Tea Bags work well as the black tea base. The tea’s mild bitterness helps keep the palm sugar and milk balanced.
Brew the tea while it’s still warm, then add liquid palm sugar to taste before adding milk and ice. This order helps the flavours blend smoothly without becoming overly sweet.
4. Iced Teh Tarik
Teh tarik has also made a comeback in various drink trends, especially in its cold version. This drink is known for the blend of tea and milk, finished with a light foam on top.
For a more practical home version, Prendjak Teh Tarik can be used since it already has a well-balanced flavour. Brew it first with hot water and stir well before adding ice. This method helps maintain the distinct teh tarik taste even when served cold.
5. Lemon Tea and Peach Tea
Fruit-flavoured tea drinks also often appear on viral drink lists. Combinations like lemon tea and peach tea are popular because they taste fresh, light, and refreshing when served cold.
For a homemade version, Prendjak Instant Lemon Tea and Prendjak Instant Peach Tea can be used as the base. Both already have authentic fruit flavours, so there’s no need to add many extra ingredients to achieve a balanced drink.
Brew the tea using cold or warm water, then add ice cubes. For a lighter taste, add fresh lemon slices to lemon tea, or peach pieces to peach tea for extra aroma. Avoid adding too much sweetener so the tea and fruit flavours remain clear.
Drink trends may continue to change, but tea remains one of the easiest beverages to adapt. With its flexible flavour profile and simple preparation, many viral tea drinks can be enjoyed at home without complicated steps.
