Start by brewing a strong cup of black tea. Steep a black tea bag in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 teaspoon of gelatin with 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for about 2 minutes. Heat the mixture on low until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
If opting for bubble texture, prepare the keto tapioca pearls by mixing the gelatin mixture with any additional keto-friendly additives you have chosen. Allow this gelatin mixture to cool in the refrigerator until set. Chop into small pieces to mimic the texture of pearls.
Fill a large glass or shaker with 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and add the cooled black tea.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of erythritol or monk fruit sweetener until dissolved. Add 0.25 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavoring.
Add 0.5 cup of ice cubes to the almond milk-tea mixture to chill it. Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into a glass, adding the prepared gelatin pieces (keto pearls) at the bottom before pouring in the drink.
Serve immediately with a wide bubble tea straw and enjoy your refreshing keto classic bubble milk tea.
