Method

Prepare the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Brew Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

  3. 3

    Strain Tea

    After steeping, strain the tea to remove the leaves and set the brewed tea aside.

Make Coconut Milk Mixture

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

  2. 5

    Heat Mixture

    Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warmed through (do not bring it to a boil).

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Mix Tea and Coconut Milk

    In a large cup or teapot, pour the brewed black tea and then slowly add the warm coconut milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Garnish (optional)

    If desired, sprinkle with shredded coconut and a dash of cinnamon powder on top before serving.

  3. 8

    Serve Hot

    Enjoy your Coconut Milk Tea hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing iced version.
