Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by preparing the tea base by boiling 2 cups of water. Remove from heat and steep the black tea bags for 5 minutes.
Remove tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the boba by sprinkling 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.5 cup of brown erythritol sweetener with 0.5 cup of almond milk. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Add the bloomed gelatin into the almond milk mixture, stirring constantly until the gelatin fully dissolves.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a flat-bottomed dish, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set.
Once set, cut the gelatin into small pearl-sized cubes to mimic boba pearls.
In a separate bowl, mix the cooled black tea with 0.5 cup of heavy cream and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Divide the ice cubes between two serving glasses.
Add an equal amount of the cut gelatin 'boba' into each glass.
Pour the tea and cream mixture over the ice and boba, stirring to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb brown sugar boba tea!
