Yuenyeung (Chinese: 鴛鴦, often transliterated according to the Cantonese language pronunciation yuenyeung,[3] yinyeung, or yinyong;[4] yuānyāng in Mandarin) is a drink created by mixing coffee with tea. It originated in Hong Kong, where it remains popular.
The exact method of creating yuenyeung varies by vendor and region, but it generally consists of brewed coffee and black tea with sugar and milk. According to the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the mixture is three parts coffee and seven parts Hong Kong–style milk tea. It can be served hot or cold.[5]
It was originally served at dai pai dongs (open-air food vendors) and cha chaan tengs (cafés), but is now available in various types of restaurants.[6][7]
