Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring two cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Then, remove from heat and steep the tea for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, squeeze out the water, and discard.
- Add half and half, butter, and salt to the brewed tea, then mix well. Or divide the tea between two cups first, and then portion the remaining ingredients with half to each cup, and mix them individually.
- Divide the tea into two cups, if you haven’t already and serve immediately.
Notes
There are a variety of different methods for steeping tea. Please read the detailed description in the post text above if you are unsure of the best option for you.
If you prefer to sweeten tea, add raw honey to taste or a keto sweetener if you’re sugar-free. Traditionally, this recipe is left unsweetened.
