10 Low Carb Jasmine Tea Recipes That Are Better Than Any Cafe Drink (And Actually Good for You)

What You Need to Make Low Carb Jasmine Milk Tea at Home

The key to a creamy, cafe-quality jasmine milk tea without the sugar is having the right ingredients on hand. Here is what I keep stocked:

• Loose leaf jasmine green tea or jasmine pearl tea – the flavor is dramatically better than tea bags. I love ordering mine from Amazon (linked below).
• Full-fat coconut milk or unsweetened oat milk – both froth beautifully and add richness without the carbs.
• Heavy cream – for the most indulgent, keto-friendly creaminess.
• Monk fruit sweetener or allulose – these dissolve well and do not leave an aftertaste.
• Vanilla extract – a small splash transforms any jasmine milk tea into something that tastes like dessert.
• Cinnamon and star anise – for the chai-spiced variations.
• Collagen peptides – optional but brilliant for adding creaminess and a protein boost to any of these drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is jasmine tea keto-friendly?
Yes. Plain jasmine tea has zero net carbs and zero calories. The low carb versions in this post use heavy cream, coconut milk, and zero-carb sweeteners to keep net carbs at 3g or under per serving.

Does jasmine tea have caffeine?
Yes, when the base is green tea. A typical cup has 25-50mg of caffeine, making it a gentler option than coffee.

What milk is best for low carb jasmine milk tea?
Heavy cream is the most keto-friendly option and produces the creamiest result. Full-fat coconut milk is the best dairy-free choice.

Can you make jasmine milk tea with a milk frother?
Absolutely, and you should. A handheld frother transforms any low carb milk tea from flat to cafe-quality in about thirty seconds.
