Ingredients

• 2 units black tea bags
• 500 ml hot water
• 120 ml unsweetened coconut milk
• 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp ground cardamom
• 0.25 tsp ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional, Whole30-compliant)

Directions

Step 1

Boil 500 ml of water and steep 2 black tea bags in it for 5 minutes. Once done, remove the tea bags.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsweetened coconut milk, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and ground ginger. Stir frequently until the coconut milk is warmed through and the spices are infused, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

If using vanilla extract, add it to the spiced coconut milk and stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the steeped tea into the saucepan with the spiced coconut milk and whisk together until fully incorporated.

Step 5

To achieve the 'pulled' effect of the traditional Teh Tarik, carefully pour the tea mixture from one container to another from a height of about 12-18 inches. Repeat this process 4-5 times to create froth. Be cautious to avoid spills or burns.

Step 6

Once the tea is frothy and well-mixed, pour it into cups and serve immediately.
