Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or other low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea leaves, allowing them to steep for about 5 minutes to extract a strong, flavorful tea base.
Step 3
Strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh sieve or a tea strainer, pouring the steeped tea liquid into a clean pot.
Step 4
Return the pot to low heat. Add the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream to the tea, stirring gently to combine.
Step 5
Let the mixture warm for about 2 minutes. Do not let it boil; this should be just enough to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
Step 6
Stir in the erythritol sweetener and vanilla extract, mixing until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Step 7
Pour the Hong Kong Milk Tea into cups through a fine sieve to catch any loose tea particles.
Step 8
Serve immediately, either hot or over ice for a refreshing cold version.
