Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Taro root
- 2 cups Water
- 1 tea bag Black tea
- 1 cup Coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup, agave, or sugar)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the taro root into small chunks for easier cooking.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the taro root and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the taro is soft and fork-tender.
Step 3
While the taro is cooking, steep the black tea bag in 1/2 cup of hot water for 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and set the tea aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Once the taro is cooked, drain the water and transfer the taro chunks to a blender.
Step 5
Add the steeped tea, coconut milk (or other dairy-free milk), and sweetener of choice to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more sweetener if needed.
Step 7
To serve, pour the taro milk tea over ice cubes for a chilled version or simply serve warm. Optionally, top with tapioca pearls or boba if desired.
Step 8
Stir well before drinking and enjoy your delicious dairy-free taro milk tea!
