The one thing I missed most when I started a keto diet was Thai iced tea. There’s really nothing like it and the unique flavor of this refreshing drink is irreplaceable.
I know I can’t be the only one to feel this way which is why I am so excited to share with you this keto friendly, sugar free, Thai iced tea recipe that you can make right in your own home whenever your heart desires.
What is Keto Thai Iced Tea?
Strongly brewed spiced black tea is mixed with half and half and sweetener to create a bright and unique refreshing drink made popular in Thailand.
It is traditionally sweetened with condensed milk which we replaced with a monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener. Same taste, sugar-free, low carbs!
What kind of tea should I use to make keto Thai iced tea?
I have found that Thai tea bags and loose leaf both work great. Just make sure you are getting just the plain tea and not the pre-mixed Thai tea powder that already includes sugar.
Can I pre make keto Thai iced tea in a large batch?
You can absolutely triple or quadruple this recipe and keep it in the refrigerator to enjoy it all week long.
Tips for making this keto Thai Iced tea recipe?
- Make sure you get either the Thai tea bags or Thai tea loose leaf that have not been pre-mixed with sugar or milk powder. Click on the pictures below for reference.
- If you prefer, you can also use heavy cream to cut even more carbs.
- Aim for a strong brew, at least 5 minutes to ensure a deep tea flavor.
- If using loose leaf tea, use a bottom tea dispenser for hassle free clean up.

I made this with hwc and it’s not as thick as I’m used to with regular Thai Iced Tea. Is half and half thicker?
Hi Ailene! Half n half is not thicker than HWC, but the only thai tea that I have had is pretty thin, so I’m not sure what ingredient they are putting into the drink to make it thicker.
