Sunny Xiao, Chic Tail Bar
“I’ll be honest – I’m Hey Tea’s target customer. When you spoke about the people who queued up for three hours for a drink, that’s me! I love cheese tea and that awesome cheese foam so much that I had to make it for myself. Luckily, I managed to create a recipe I think tastes like the real thing.
For this cocktail, Childhood, I used passion fruit, lime and osmanthus flowers from my hometown of Guangxi – which explains the name. It reminds me of growing up there. I took a while to come up with a recipe for the perfect cheese cream foam, and for a bit of fragrance, I added rosewater. This cheese tea cocktail at Chic Tail has become our signature – we serve variations with different spirits and make bespoke ones if our customers request for them too.”
