Boil 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan or kettle.
Once boiling, remove from heat and add the 2 black tea bags. Let them steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
Remove the tea bags and stir in 2 tablespoons of erythritol or monk fruit sweetener while the tea is still warm to ensure it dissolves completely.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes or speed up the cooling process by placing it in the refrigerator.
After the tea has cooled, fill a glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Combine the cooled tea with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and stir in 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Pour the tea mixture over the ice and stir gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing low-carb classic iced milk tea!
