I love drinks! All kinds of drinks! I think most people would agree with me that being low-carb/keto, you’re really limited in beverage selections.
The one thing I missed most about being low-carb/keto was not being able to order from the vast drink menus at cafes or restaurants. One beverage in particular was Thai Iced Tea.
The aromatic black tea mixed with the sweet creamy milk is so tasty and refreshing I could drink gallons of it!
I’m sure you could imagine how happy I was when I was able to create a low-carb/keto Thai iced tea that I can drink it to my heart’s content!
So happy in fact that I couldn’t wait to write this recipe and share it with the rest of you here on LCA! It’ll take you less than 5 minutes to make and tastes just like the real deal!
Just be careful when searching for Thai tea. You will find a lot of Thai tea “mixes” that are pre-mixed with sugar and powdered milk and all you do is add water. That’s not what you want. What you want is Thai tea bags that you brew yourself and we’ll add all the other ingredients in ourselves!
I was only able to find it on Amazon but I have heard that some Wal-Mart’s may carry it as well.
So if you’re ready, let’s get started!

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.
