Keto Thai Iced Tea {sugar-free}
Please read the post about this Thai tea recipe. It discusses the brands as well as photographs to illustrate the process. When we made our Thai Tea mix from the Pantai Thai Tea Mix, we reduced their suggested sweetness amount by about 20% to our own personal taste.Sugar-free sweeteners: Sugar-free sweeteners have many different sugar substition ratios (different between different kinds and even the same kind but different brands). Use the substition ratio based off of the exact sweetener you are using (check the back of your packaging) to be equivalent to 3/4 cup of sugar, or sweetened to your personal preference.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Thai Tea Mix
- 4 cups water
- Sugar-free Sweetener of choice (see below)
- 3/4 cup half and half (approximately), (can also use coconut milk, whole milk, or other milk alternatives)
- ice
Sugar-free Sweetener options (choose one)
- 3/4 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol *see head note regarding quantity
- 3/4 cup Granular Splenda *see head note regarding quantity
- 1/4 cup Stevia *see head note regarding quantity
Instructions
- Bring water to boil and add the Thai tea mix. Add your sweetener of choice and gently stir to completely dissolve the sweetener. Gently boil for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Allow tea to steep for at least 30 minutes and to cool. The more concentrated the tea flavor, the better the Thai tea tastes.
- Strain the tea leaves (we love using these reusable cloth filters). Set finished Thai tea aside to cool completely. You can make this ahead of time and have the Thai tea chilling in the fridge. We usually like to make this tea mix one day ahead.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour in Thai tea leaving enough room to fill in your half and half (or other creamer). For an 12 oz. glass filled with ice cubed, we like to add about 2-3 tablespoons of half and half for a creamier flavor.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
