Welcome back to the kitchen, friends! I’m your host, Ben Harper, and today on Simple Recipe Box, we’re diving into a refreshing summer treat that’s as delightful as a cool breeze on a hot day. Get ready to whip up the ultimate Simple Rusa Drink, a creamy, sweet concoction that promises to be your new favorite summer sipper.

Let’s start with what you’ll need. This recipe is beautifully simple, requiring just a few ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen. You’ll need 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves—Assam or Ceylon work wonderfully for their robust flavors. You’ll also need 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, and about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to sweeten things up.

Now, for the equipment, it’s nothing fancy: a medium saucepan, a strainer, a large glass, and a stirring spoon. That’s it! Perfect for beginners and those of us who like to keep things straightforward.

Here’s how you’ll make your Rusa Drink: First, bring your cup of water to a boil in the saucepan. Add your black tea leaves and let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. After steeping, strain out the tea leaves, leaving you with a beautifully rich tea base.

Next, pour this tea into your large glass, and stir in the evaporated milk and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Here’s where you can tweak the sweetness to your liking, so feel free to adjust the sugar amount.

Once mixed, chill your Rusa in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This makes it refreshingly cool and perfect for those warm summer days. When you’re ready to serve, pour the chilled Rusa over ice cubes, adding an extra layer of refreshment.

And for a final touch, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon. Not only does this add a pop of color and flavor, but it also elevates the whole experience, making your simple Rusa drink feel a bit more special.

So, why choose this drink? Well, not only is it incredibly easy to make, but it’s also a wonderful way to cool down and relax during the summer heat. Plus, it’s versatile! If you’re feeling adventurous, try substituting the black tea with green tea for a lighter taste, or play around with different milks like coconut or whole milk for a new twist.

Remember, the key to a perfect Rusa is in the quality of your ingredients and the love you pour into making it. Use high-quality tea leaves and adjust the flavors to suit your taste for the best experience.

And there you have it, folks—your ticket to summer bliss in a glass. Whether you’re enjoying it quietly on your porch or serving it up at your next summer gathering, the Simple Rusa Drink is sure to impress. Give it a try, and let this sweet, creamy refreshment be a part of your summer memories.
