Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Taro root
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tea bag Black tea
- 1 cup Coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the taro root into small chunks for easier cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the taro root and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the taro is soft and fork-tender.
While the taro is cooking, steep the black tea bag in 1/2 cup of hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and set the tea aside to cool slightly.
Once the taro is cooked, drain the water and transfer the taro chunks to a blender.
Add the steeped tea, coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk), and sweetener of choice to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more sweetener if needed.
To serve, pour the taro milk tea over ice cubes for a chilled version or simply serve warm. Optionally, top with tapioca pearls or boba if desired.
Stir well before drinking and enjoy your delicious dairy-free taro milk tea!
