Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or 2 black tea bags)
- 500 milliliters Hot water
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk (or other creamy non-dairy milk such as oat milk or cashew milk)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar (or brown sugar as an alternative)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a small pot or kettle.
Step 2
Add black tea leaves or tea bags to the boiling water and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Step 3
Strain the tea into a heat-safe container if using loose tea leaves. If you used tea bags, remove the tea bags.
Step 4
In a separate pot, heat 200 milliliters of coconut milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk) on low heat. Do not let it boil; you want it warm and creamy.
Step 5
Stir in the coconut sugar into the hot tea until fully dissolved.
Step 6
Combine the tea with the warmed non-dairy milk. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more coconut sugar if desired.
Step 7
To create the signature frothy texture of Teh Tarik, carefully 'pull' the tea by pouring it back and forth between two heat-safe cups or pitchers. Start with small distances to avoid spilling and increase the height as you get comfortable. This process incorporates air and creates foam.
Step 8
Serve immediately in a mug or glass, enjoying the velvety, frothy texture of the Dairy-Free Teh Tarik.
