Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Black tea leaves (or tea bags)
- 300 milliliters Hot water
- 200 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup (or honey if not vegan)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring 300 milliliters of water to a boil. Add the black tea leaves (or tea bags) and steep for 3-5 minutes to make a strong tea base.
Step 2
Strain the tea leaves (if using loose tea) and pour the brewed tea into a heat-safe mixing bowl or large mug.
Step 3
In the same saucepan, gently heat the almond milk over low-medium heat until warm but not boiling. Stir in the ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Step 4
Pour the warmed almond milk into the brewed tea in the mixing bowl.
Step 5
To create the traditional 'pulled tea' effect, carefully pour the tea mixture back and forth between two containers or large mugs, starting at a lower height and gradually increasing the pour height. Repeat this for about 3-5 times until the tea becomes frothy.
Step 6
Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more maple syrup, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately in two mugs, and enjoy your heart-healthy teh tarik!
