For a richer flavor, use full-fat sweetened condensed milk. Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your preference. Experiment with different types of tea, such as black tea or green tea, for a unique twist. Garnish with a lime wedge or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
