- 3 tablespoons cane sugar
Instructions
Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of loose-leaf black tea to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to extract full flavor.

Once the tea has simmered, strain the tea leaves and pour the hot tea back into the saucepan.
Add the warm almond milk and coconut cream mixture into the tea, stirring gently to combine.
Sweeten the tea with 3 tablespoons of cane sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary, adding more sugar by the teaspoon if required.
