Notes

  • You can use different types of tea, like black tea, white tea, or herbal tea, to make this recipe. I wanted to make it healthier, so I have used green tea here! 
  • This recipe is all about brewing the tea in coconut milk, and I have used full-fat coconut milk here! However, if you want, you can use different types of milk like lite coconut milk, oats milk, almond milk, or even heavy cream. 
  • If you prefer, you can froth the coconut milk before adding it to the serving cups. 
  • You can use any sweetener that you prefer instead of honey, such as granulated sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can even use coconut sugar for this recipe. 
  • Coconut milk tea can be served cold or hot, but I personally like to go for an iced tea. 
  • You can even top it up with whipped cream for that extra richness. 
  • Tapioca or boba pearls are completely optional, and if you want, you can skip adding these. 
  • You can also make this recipe with white or black tapioca pearls; it's up to you!
