Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 500 ml Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Sugar-free tapioca pearls
- 500 ml Water (for cooking tapioca)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Bring 500 ml of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the black tea bags and allow them to steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and stir in erythritol sweetener until fully dissolved. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
While the tea cools, prepare the sugar-free tapioca pearls. In a separate pot, bring 500 ml of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook according to the package instructions, typically for 5-10 minutes, until they are chewy but not mushy.
Once cooked, drain the tapioca pearls and rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the cooled black tea, unsweetened almond milk, and heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
Split the cooked tapioca pearls evenly into two serving glasses.
Fill each glass with ice cubes, then pour the milk tea mixture over the ice and tapioca pearls.
Stir gently to ensure even distribution of ingredients. Serve immediately with large straws to enjoy the chewy tapioca pearls with each sip.
