Sometimes called cheese foam, sometimes a cheese cap (or milk cap), this light and fluffy topping is kinda like adding a creamy foam layer of cream cheese mousse to your cup of tea.

It’s delicious!

Milk tea is a popular drink in Asian countries that has made its way around the world. It’s one of my favorite beverages and I’ve been drinking hot and iced milk tea for years.

I used to keep my homemade tea pretty simple and splurge on fancier boba milk tea drinks at tea shops. That’s where I first saw the option of adding “cheese foam” or a “cheese cap” to my milk tea. I was intrigued and a little confused about how cheese and tea could possible go together.
