This bulletproof tea recipe is a creamy Zero-carb cup of tea latte to enjoy as a keto breakfast.

It is the perfect keto drink to start the day, it is fulfilling, tasty, and the ideal fat-burning drink for tea lovers!

What Is Bulletproof Tea?

Bulletproof tea is the coffee-free alternative to Bulletproof coffee.

Therefore it is a fat-loaded version of your regular tea, enriched in healthy MCT oil and grass-fed butter.

How To Make Bulletproof Tea 

Choose your tea variety

First, prepare your tea. Choose the tea flavor you like. Note the best tea leaves for bulletproof tea are strong tea varieties like black tea or green tea.

However, all tea varieties, if unsweetened, contain zero carbs and will be perfect to create your recipe for bulletproof tea.

So it is safe to use any tea variety, but the best bulletproof tea flavor will be achieved with one of these:

• black tea
• green tea
• rooibos tea

Brew your tea

Once you have picked your tea, you have to brew it in freshly boiled hot water for 2 minutes.

You can make this in a bowl or directly in your cup of tea.

Blend all the ingredients together

This is a must-do. You must blend your bulletproof tea ingredients together at high-speed using either:

• a blender – place all the ingredients into the blender and blend on high speed for 20 seconds until creamy.
• an immersion blender – place all the ingredients into a tall and wide container or mug and immerge the immersion blender. Blend until creamy,
• a milk frother – froth all the ingredients into a tall tea mug until creamy and smooth.

This is the key to combining your MCT oil (or coconut oil) and grass-fed butter (or ghee) together.

If you do not blend the tea and healthy fats at high speed, they will not combine and two layers will form in your drink.

It is honestly the worst both visually and in terms of taste. So, you don’t want this to happen.

Flavoring

Use the recipe provided below and adapt it with the recommendations listed here based on your favorite bulletproof tea flavors:

• bulletproof black tea – use a black tea bag.
• bulletproof matcha tea – using 1/4 teaspoon of matcha powder instead of a tea bag and top your drink with 1 cup of frothed unsweetened coconut milk.
• bulletproof green tea – use a green tea bag.
• bulletproof chai tea – use a black tea bag, 1/4 teaspoon chai tea spices per cup, and top the drink with 1 cup of frothed unsweetened almond milk.
• bulletproof ginger tea – replace the tea bag with a 1-inch fresh ginger slice that you soak in boiling water.
• Bulletproof rooibos tea – use a tea bag or rooibos tea, sometimes also called red tea.

Vegan Bulletproof Tea Option

Simply replace the grass-fed butter with the same amount of either:

• cocoa butter
• coconut oil
• almond butter
• MCT oil
