Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Loose black tea leaves
- 2 pieces Star anise
- 3 pods Cardamom pods
- 3 pieces Cloves
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the black tea leaves, star anise, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Strain the tea mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heat-safe bowl or pitcher to remove the tea leaves and spices.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Taste the tea and, if desired, add erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to enhance the sweetness without adding sugar.
Allow the tea to cool slightly, then pour over a glass filled with ice cubes for a refreshing iced version. Alternatively, serve warm by reheating gently on the stove.
Stir well before serving and enjoy your sugar-free Thai milk tea!
