A strong creamy tea, often drunk at Thai restaurants; this popular drink is surprisingly easy to recreate at home. The vanilla notes of Earl Grey Creme Tea, creamy undertones of Coconut Sugar, and added spices make the perfect flavorful and refreshing treat.
Ingredients
- 32 oz. filtered water
-
8 tsp. Earl Grey Crème Tea
-
6 Star Anise, divided
- 1 Cardamom - Green Pod, smashed
-
2 Cloves - Whole
-
½ cup Toasted Coconut Sugar
-
1 tsp. Espresso Sugar (optional garnish)
- ½ cup half and half
- (other options: coconut, whole, or sweetened condensed milk)
Directions
- HEAT filtered water to 212°F (boiling). Steep Earl Grey Creme Tea, 2 Star Anise, Cardamom - Green Pod, Cloves - Whole, and Coconut Sugar together for 1 hr. Strain. Stir to make sure sugar is dissolved. Set aside for a couple mins. and then refrigerate until cool.
- FILL four beverage glasses with ice. Pour in the steeped tea, leaving enough room for your desired amount of half and half.
