Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or tea bags)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot or kettle.
Add 2 teaspoons of black tea leaves (or 2 tea bags) to the boiling water. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to brew the tea.
Strain the tea leaves (or remove the tea bags) and pour the brewed tea into a heatproof mug or mixing cup.
Add 0.5 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to the brewed tea. Stir to combine.
Sweeten the tea mixture with 1 tablespoon of erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener) and add 0.25 teaspoons of vanilla extract if desired. Mix well until the sweetener dissolves completely.
To achieve the signature foamy texture of teh tarik, transfer the tea mixture between two large mugs or containers repeatedly. Pour the tea from a height of about 6-8 inches to create froth, being careful not to spill. Repeat the process 5-6 times until frothy.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your keto-friendly teh tarik!
