Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons or bags Black tea leaves or tea bags
- 240 ml Hot water
- 120 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 240 ml of water to a boil in a small saucepan or kettle.
Step 2
Place the black tea leaves or tea bags into a mug and pour the hot water over them. Let steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on the desired tea strength.
Step 3
While the tea is steeping, in a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk and heavy cream over medium-low heat until warm (do not bring to a boil). Stir occasionally for even heating.
Step 4
Once the tea is steeped, remove the leaves or tea bags and pour the tea into a heat-safe container or blender.
Step 5
Add the warm almond milk and heavy cream mixture, the erythritol (or your chosen sweetener), and vanilla extract (if using) to the tea.
Step 6
To mimic the frothy pulling process of traditional teh tarik, use an immersion blender, a frothing wand, or carefully transfer the mixture between two heat-safe containers about 5-6 times to aerate and create a foamy top.
Step 7
Pour the frothy tea into your serving mug and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy, low-carb teh tarik!
