Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons loose black tea leaves
- 500 milliliters hot water
- 200 milliliters unsweetened soy milk
- 50 milliliters coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom (optional)
Instructions
Add the loose black tea leaves to a pot and pour in 500 milliliters of hot water.
Bring the tea to a gentle boil over medium heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tea to fully steep.
Strain the brewed tea into a large heatproof jug to remove the tea leaves.
In a separate saucepan, combine the unsweetened soy milk and coconut cream. Heat gently until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add the warmed plant-based milk mixture and raw cane sugar to the brewed tea. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. If desired, sprinkle in a pinch of ground cardamom for added aroma.
To create Teh Tarik's signature frothy texture, pour the tea mixture back and forth between two heatproof vessels (or a jug and a glass) from a height of about 1 foot. Repeat this 'pulling' process 4-5 times until frothy. Be careful to avoid spills and splashes—aim for smooth, steady motions.
Divide the frothy tea between two mugs and serve immediately. Enjoy your light and creamy Vegan Teh Tarik!
