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 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 to be able to create a low-carb/keto version so 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.
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 is not what you want. What you want is Thai tea bags that you brew yourself.
I was only able to find it on Amazon but I have heard that some Wal-Mart’s may carry it as well.
**You can replace half and half with heavy cream if you are strict keto however, we choose to use half and half for the consistency since the amount is only a couple tablespoons.
Now, let’s get started!
