Transport your taste buds to Malaysia with this creamy, frothy Paleo Teh Tarikโa healthier twist on the traditional tea beverage! This paleo-friendly recipe swaps out condensed milk for a luscious blend of full-fat coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk, naturally sweetened with coconut sugar. Made with bold loose black tea and a hint of vanilla extract, this dairy-free and refined sugar-free treat perfectly captures the essence of the classic "pulled tea." The signature frothy top is achieved by pouring the tea back and forth between two vessels, making the preparation process both fun and authentic. Ready in just 15 minutes, this indulgent yet wholesome drink is perfect for a cozy morning or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Ideal for tea lovers seeking a delicious, guilt-free beverage!
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!
