Ingredients

• 100 grams Taro root (peeled and cubed)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 2 pieces Black tea bags
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

In a small pot, add the peeled and cubed taro root. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cook the taro for 10-12 minutes, or until soft and fork-tender. Drain and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the cooked taro root, unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate heatproof cup, steep the black tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Combine the taro mixture and cooled black tea in a blender. Blend again until fully incorporated. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add xanthan gum and blend for an additional 15-20 seconds.

Step 6

Fill two glasses with ice cubes, and pour the taro milk tea over the ice. Stir gently.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
