Hong Kong's milk tea, also known as pantyhose milk tea, has been recognized as Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage. This book delves into the history and stories carried by milk tea, focusing on the experiences of migrant workers in three locations: Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand. Each chapter uncovers unique tales, such as the creation of pantyhose milk tea in British Hong Kong and the cultural significance of milk tea amidst globalization. Additionally, the book includes "Milk Tea Notes" that explore the intertwined history of Hong Kong-style milk tea and its comparisons with Indian milk tea, pulled tea, and Thai milk tea, reflecting on their historical and cultural significance.
