Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 bags Black tea bags
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
Instructions
Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once the water comes to a rolling boil, turn off the heat and add the 3 black tea bags.
Let the tea bags steep in the hot water for 5 minutes for a strong brew.
Remove the tea bags and discard them, then stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar while the tea is still hot so it dissolves completely.
In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of almond milk and 1 cup of coconut milk.
Heat this mixture gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it is warm but not boiling.
Slowly pour the warm almond and coconut milk mixture into the brewed tea, stirring to fully combine.
Pour the dairy-free Hong Kong milk tea into cups or mugs, and serve hot. Optionally, you can refrigerate it for a cold version and serve over ice.
