Sugar-Free Thai Milk Tea

On my weekly rotation of ready-made beverages are these refreshing, sugar-free Thai tea (regular and green!) They're so easy to make and has saved me a ton of money from visiting boba shops!

I started making Thai milk teas at home when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes while pregnant, because nothing was going to stop a pregnant lady from getting her boba cravings satisfied! Thai milk tea is one of those trickier ones because the store-made ones are typically SO sweet and made with condensed milk that - it feels impossible to recreate it at home with zero-sugar sweeteners. After many trials and errors, I finally found the perfect ratio and combination of water to tea leaves + sweetener! Now I make this on a weekly basis, even though I no longer have gestational diabetes, and have had so much fun mixing it up with cheese foams and different milk varieties!
