Have you ever tried Thai tea? It's a refreshing beverage made with Thai tea mix, sugar and sweet condensed milk. The traditional version may be delicious but it's packed with sugar.
Luckily you can easily make it with black tea, spices and cream or coconut milk, or even keto condensed milk which I also used to make Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
You can choose between Dairy-Free Keto Condensed Milk (uses coconut milk so it's also vegan) or Keto Condensed Milk (uses heavy whipping cream).
Apart from the condensed milk which is already sweet, I didn't add any other sweetener. If you're using cream or coconut milk, you may need to add low-carb sweeteners to taste. Finally, I skipped the usual Thai tea blend as it contains dyes which I avoid.

Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
Instructions
- If you don't have any, prepare the Dairy-Free Keto Condensed Milk (uses coconut milk) or Keto Condensed Milk (uses cream) and set aside while you prepare the tea.
- To brew the tea, you will need loose black tea, star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla and water.
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the tea, star anise, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick and vanilla powder (or whole vanilla bean cut lenghtwise). Boil over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Take off the heat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Strain the tea leaves and spices and discard them. Optionally, add low-carb sweetener to taste, and let the tea mix cool completely before serving. I keep it in the fridge until ready to be served. It will last for up to a week.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour in the tea mix.
- Pour in keto condensed milk (2 tablespoons per glass, or more to taste) or cream or coconut milk. Stir or drink without stirring.
- Serve immediately!
