Equipment

  • Tea kettle or pot for boiling water
  • Heat-resistant cup
  • Blender or handheld milk frother
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 bag organic black tea
  • 1 cup boiling water (240ml)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter (14g)
  • 1 tbsp MCT oil or coconut oil (15ml)
  • Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor

Instructions

  • Begin by boiling the water. Once boiled, pour it over the tea bag or loose leaf in a heat-resistant cup. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
  • Remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves from the cup. Your tea should now be a rich, dark color, indicating it's ready for the next step.
  • Add the tablespoon of unsalted grass-fed butter and MCT oil to the steeped tea. These ingredients are the key to making your tea 'bulletproof,' providing the high-fat content that is essential for the keto diet.
  • If you're adding any optional flavors like cinnamon or vanilla extract, include them now.
  • Using a blender or handheld milk frother, blend the tea and fats together until a creamy, frothy consistency is achieved. This usually takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Pour the blended tea into your favorite mug. You'll notice a creamy froth on top, similar to a latte, indicative of a well-emulsified Bulletproof Tea.
  • Sip, savor, and enjoy the energy boost!

Notes

For those sensitive to caffeine or preferring a different flavor profile, feel free to substitute the black tea with your favorite herbal or green tea. The key to a successful Bulletproof Tea is the emulsification of the fats with the tea, so don't skip on the blending step to achieve that perfect frothy top layer. Enjoy this Bulletproof Tea as part of your daily routine or as a delightful keto-friendly swap for your regular tea!
