Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 2 teaspoons Loose black tea
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the loose black tea to the boiling water and simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the tea to steep.
Strain the tea into a separate bowl or container to remove the tea leaves.
Return the strained tea to the pot and add the coconut milk, almond milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Heat the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil to avoid burning the milk.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
To create the signature foam of teh tarik, carefully pour the tea back and forth between two heatproof cups or containers from a height, repeating 5-6 times until a frothy layer forms on the top. Be cautious to avoid spilling or splashing.
Serve the Paleo Teh Tarik hot in mugs or glasses and enjoy!
