Can I use black tea instead of rooibos in this keto latte?

Yes, you can swap rooibos for black tea if you want a caffeine boost. Just make sure it’s plain black tea with no added flavors or sweeteners. The taste will be stronger and more classic, kind of like a keto-friendly milk tea. Keep the rest of the ingredients the same.

Is this rooibos vanilla latte good for a keto diet?

Definitely. This latte has zero sugar, low carbs, and healthy fats from cream or MCT oil. It fits right into the keto diet, especially when you’re craving something sweet and warm without blowing your macros. Just make sure your milk and sweetener are keto-safe.
