Print Recipe

This Keto Spiced Rooibos Tea is a creamy, low-carb, sugar-free drink loaded with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. Perfect for anyone on the keto diet or looking for a soothing, caffeine-free beverage that fits into their healthy lifestyle.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 rooibos tea bags (or 2 tsp loose-leaf rooibos tea)
  • 1 cinnamon stick (or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)
  • 3–4 whole cloves (or a pinch of ground cloves)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom (or 2 crushed pods)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or a small slice of fresh ginger)
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1–2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1–2 tsp erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or stevia (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg (if using). Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
  2. Add the rooibos tea bags or loose-leaf tea. Steep for 5-7 minutes.
  3. While the tea is steeping, heat the almond milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.
  4. Remove the tea bags or strain the tea into mugs. Stir in the warm milk mixture and sweetener.
  5. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish.

Notes

  • To make an iced version, let the tea cool and pour it over ice.
  • You can skip the milk for a lighter tea or blend it with coconut oil for a bulletproof version.
  • Store leftover spiced tea base (without milk) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat and add milk when serving.
