Creamy coconut iced tea

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The richness of coconut milk and the astringency of black tea make a surprisingly good pair, similar to British milky tea, but in a tropical edition. This drink refreshes and satisfies at the same time. The plant fats (MCTs) in coconut milk add a creamy body to the watery tea, while honey bridges the two worlds.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Kettle
  • Jug
  • Whisk

Instructions

1 ✓

Boil the water and steep the tea for 5 minutes, then remove the bags.

Tip: Make strong tea because the coconut milk and ice will dilute the flavour intensity.
2 ✓

Stir the honey into the still-warm tea.

Tip: This way it dissolves easily.
3 ✓

Whisk the coconut milk in a small bowl until smooth (if cream and water have separated), then pour into the lukewarm tea.

Tip: If you pour cold coconut milk into hot tea, it may curdle. Wait until the tea cools to hand temperature.
4 ✓

Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Tip: During cooling, the flavours meld.
5 ✓

Stir thoroughly before serving (coconut may float to the top).

Tip: This is a natural phenomenon, not a fault.
6 ✓

Put ice in glasses, pour over the tea, and garnish with mint.

Tip: The green colour of the mint looks great on the coffee-coloured drink.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the coconut milk lumpy?
Fat in coconut milk solidifies in the cold. Always shake the can thoroughly before use, or warm slightly to homogenise.
