Hokkaido Fresh Milk is as good on its own or you can pair it with breakfast cereal, granola, cakes and pastries or even use it to create quick desserts, bakes or even Japanese favourite "royal milk tea". In this article I will be sharing 3 fool-proof recipes which can be easily done in less than 20 minutes.
We love the smooth, creamy and "clean" finishing taste of the fresh milk especially when it is served cold as a mid-morning/afternoon treat.

皇家奶茶是日本人常饮用的一种饮料。你可以直接用温牛奶来冲泡红茶或加点热水先泡茶之后才加入温牛奶。我个人比较喜欢浓郁的奶香味所以我采用纯北海道鲜牛奶 （无加水），喝起来有一阵清甜的奶香味真叫人回味无穷而且搭配下午茶蛋糕或奶油饼干更是绝配。

材料：
400毫升北海道鲜牛奶
9克红茶叶（3个锡兰茶叶袋）
糖或蜂蜜
做法：
1. 将牛奶倒入小锅中用小火煮到即将沸腾时，加入锡兰红茶包。
2. 熄火后把锅放置一旁等2-3分钟，直到茶汤闷出颜色及香味。
3. 最后将奶茶倒入预备好的温杯 （用沸水加热） 依自己的喜好加入少许糖或蜂蜜调味即可饮用。
STEAMED PAPAYA WITH MILK AND SNOW FUNGUS
For me I often add in extra snow fungus to enhance the taste as well as extra crunch and bite. Besides that snow fungus is also a valuable nutrient tonic which helps to detox the spleen and increases appetite as well as nourish the body, lungs and stomach.
This dessert tastes creamier and smoother with the use of Hokkaido Fresh Milk. We love the fragrance of sweet milk emitted.
(Yield: 2 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 30 minutes)
Ingredients:
250g fresh papaya, cut into 1" cubes
500ml of Hokkaido fresh milk
10g snow fungus, soak till soften
Some red dates, optional
3 knots of pandan leaves
Cane-sugar to taste
Method:
1. Soak snow fungus and red dates (if using) in warm water till fungus expand and soft. Trim off the yellow colour portion and cut the cluster into smaller pieces.
2. Bring 150ml of water to boil. Add in snow fungus, red dates, pandan leaves, cane-sugar and simmer over low heat for 10 - 12 minutes . Remove pan from stove and set aside.
3. Peel and remove seeds from the papaya, cut it into smaller pieces.
4. Divide papaya, red dates, snow fungus (add in 1-2 tablespoons of the reserved snow fungus soup to sweeten the taste of the dessert) and a knot of pandan leaves into 2 ceramic pot (you can do two individual serving or one big pot).
5. Pour in Hokkaido fresh milk, cover and place the pots into a slow-cooker, electric steamer or a big soup-pot over the stove and double-boiled on medium low heat for about 30 minutes.

1. 南瓜块用蒸或微波炉煮到软化，然后将一半用叉压成泥状；备用。
2. 北海道鲜牛奶和蜂蜜倒入小锅里用小火加热到接近80度（你也可以选用微波炉加热）。
3. 取出50毫升的温牛奶和鱼胶粉搅拌均匀然后拌入锅内的温牛奶。
4.接着把牛奶过滤并除去未溶解鱼胶粉粒。
