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.
Yes, you can make bulletproof tea and you do not have to love black coffee to start a ketogenic diet. While bulletproof coffee is the most popular keto breakfast drink, keto bulletproof tea is as delicious and can be made in many variations, depending on the tea type you are using.
Use the recipe provided below and adapt with the recommendations listed here based on your favorite bulletproof tea flavors:
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.

The benefits of bulletproof tea are like bulletproof coffee. It brings a decent amount of quality fats that are quickly creating ketones, your favorite source of energy on a keto diet.
