Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Taro root (peeled and cubed)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a small pot, add the peeled and cubed taro root. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the taro for 10-12 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. Drain and let it cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the cooked taro root, unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a separate heatproof cup, steep the black tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
Combine the taro mixture and cooled black tea in a blender. Blend again until fully incorporated. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add xanthan gum and blend for an additional 15-20 seconds.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, and pour the taro milk tea over the ice. Stir gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
