Tea Pudding (decaf version) is a creamy, chilled dessert that infuses the subtle, aromatic flavors of decaffeinated tea—such as green, black, or oolong—into a smooth, custard-like base. Typical ingredients include decaffeinated tea, milk or cream, sugar, and a gelling agent like gelatin or agar-agar. This dish is a modern, caffeine-free twist on traditional tea-infused desserts popular in various Asian cuisines.
