Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Loose leaf Thai tea mix (unsweetened)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Coconut cream
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan.
Add the loose leaf Thai tea mix to the boiling water. Stir and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer or tea sock to remove the leaves.
Stir in the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener while the tea is still hot to allow it to fully dissolve.
Let the tea cool to room temperature or refrigerate until chilled if desired.
In a small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, coconut cream, and optional vanilla extract until well combined.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the cooled tea over the ice, filling each glass about 3/4 full.
Slowly pour the almond milk and coconut cream mixture over the tea for a layered effect.
Stir gently and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb creamy Thai tea!
