Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or 2 black tea bags)
- 500 milliliters Hot water
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk (or other creamy non-dairy milk such as oat milk or cashew milk)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar (or brown sugar as an alternative)
Instructions
Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a small pot or kettle.
Add black tea leaves or tea bags to the boiling water and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Strain the tea into a heat-safe container if using loose tea leaves. If you used tea bags, remove the tea bags.
In a separate pot, heat 200 milliliters of coconut milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk) on low heat. Do not let it boil; you want it warm and creamy.
Stir in the coconut sugar into the hot tea until fully dissolved.
Combine the tea with the warmed non-dairy milk. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more coconut sugar if desired.
To create the signature frothy texture of Teh Tarik, carefully 'pull' the tea by pouring it back and forth between two heat-safe cups or pitchers. Start with small distances to avoid spilling and increase the height as you get comfortable. This process incorporates air and creates foam.
Serve immediately in a mug or glass, enjoying the velvety, frothy texture of the Dairy-Free Teh Tarik.
