Strain tea through a fine strainer or a coffee filter into a warmed serving pot. Heat soy milk in same saucepan over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes; do not let it come to a boil or it will separate. Pour into serving pot with the tea, and stir well to combine. Serve immediately.
Not as sweet or thick as Dunkin Donuts, but a good substitute. I made it also with 1% milk and it was just as good. I think I could make this recipe and separate it into the 4 servings and freeze it four a quick afternoon pick me up. I would just add the milk after defrosting it. Yum!
I've never really like soy milk, but this recipe sounds very very interesting! I'll have to try it sometime soon!
