Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons loose black tea leaves
- 500 milliliters hot water
- 200 milliliters unsweetened soy milk
- 50 milliliters coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Add the loose black tea leaves to a pot and pour in 500 milliliters of hot water.
Step 2
Bring the tea to a gentle boil over medium heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tea to fully steep.
Step 3
Strain the brewed tea into a large heatproof jug to remove the tea leaves.
Step 4
In a separate saucepan, combine the unsweetened soy milk and coconut cream. Heat gently until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 5
Add the warmed plant-based milk mixture and raw cane sugar to the brewed tea. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. If desired, sprinkle in a pinch of ground cardamom for added aroma.
Step 6
To create Teh Tarik's signature frothy texture, pour the tea mixture back and forth between two heatproof vessels (or a jug and a glass) from a height of about 1 foot. Repeat this 'pulling' process 4-5 times until frothy. Be careful to avoid spills and splashes—aim for smooth, steady motions.
Step 7
Divide the frothy tea between two mugs and serve immediately. Enjoy your light and creamy Vegan Teh Tarik!
