Mohamed Shili This creamy and refreshing coconut iced tea is perfect for hot days! The floral jasmine tea pairs beautifully with creamy coconut milk and a hint of lime for a tropical twist. It’s easy to make and best served ice-cold.
Ingredients Needed:
- 8 jasmine tea bags
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- Lime slices, for flavor
How To Make Coconut Ice Tea?
- Steep the tea: Boil water in a saucepan, remove from heat, and add tea bags. Let them steep for about 5 minutes.
- Sweeten the tea: Take out the tea bags and stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
- Add creamy ingredients: Pour in the heavy cream, and coconut milk, and add lime slices.
- Chill the tea: Cover and refrigerate until cold.
- Serve: Pour over ice and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Use fresh jasmine tea bags for the best flavor: Older tea bags lose their aroma and taste, so always use fresh ones for stronger and more fragrant tea.
- Dissolve sugar while the tea is warm: Stir the sugar in while the tea is still hot so it fully dissolves. If you add it later, it may not mix properly.
- Chill completely before serving: Let the tea cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors blend and makes the drink extra refreshing.
- Shake or stir before serving: The coconut milk and cream may separate while chilling. Always stir well or shake the container before pouring.
- Use fresh lime slices, not bottled lime juice: Fresh lime slices release natural oils that add a bright, fresh flavor, while bottled juice can taste artificial.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the leftover Coconut Iced Tea cool to room temperature. Then, pour it into a sealed jar or pitcher and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, as the ingredients may separate.
