In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the black tea leaves or Thai tea blend to the boiling water and let it steep for 5-7 minutes. If using loose tea leaves, strain the tea into a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk and erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Heat for another 2-3 minutes over low heat until well combined.
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. Mix well.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, about 1/2 cup of ice per glass.
Pour the tea mixture evenly into the glasses, leaving some space at the top.
Top each glass with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, allowing it to gently swirl into the tea for a rich, creamy texture.
Serve immediately with a spoon or straw and enjoy your refreshing low-carb Thai milk tea!
