Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Black tea leaves
- 1 tablespoon Whole spices (star anise, cardamom pods, cloves)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Granulated erythritol
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, add the black tea leaves and whole spices, and steep for 5-7 minutes.
Strain the tea into a pitcher, discarding the leaves and spices. Stir in the vanilla extract and erythritol until dissolved. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
Once the tea has cooled, place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill.
To serve, fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea into each glass, filling about 2/3 of each glass.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the almond milk and heavy cream. Slowly pour this mixture over the back of a spoon onto each glass to maintain layers, if desired.
Gently stir to combine the layers just before drinking and enjoy your Keto Authentic Thai Iced Tea.
