Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free tapioca pearls or keto pearls
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by brewing a strong tea base. Boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes.
While the tea is steeping, prepare the sugar-free tapioca pearls or keto pearls according to the package instructions, usually by boiling them for about 5-10 minutes until they become soft and chewy. Drain and set aside.
After the tea is steeped, remove the tea bags and stir in the erythritol until dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
In a blender, combine the cooled tea, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls between two tall serving glasses.
Pour the blended tea mixture over the pearls, filling each glass to the top.
Stir the contents of the glasses gently to combine the pearls with the milk tea.
Serve immediately with wide straws to enjoy the chewy tapioca pearls along with the cold, creamy tea.
