Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 4 tea bags or loose tea equivalent (or 2 tea bags for frugal choice option)
  • ¼-1/2 cup of canned whole fat coconut milk, almond milk, or milk or dairy-free “milk” of choice
  • ½-1 teaspoon high quality vanilla (use gluten-free, if needed)
  • ½-1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of Cayenne (or substitute black pepper)
  • 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of raw honey, simple syrup made with honey, or stevia to taste (6-10 drop of liquid)
  • Optional: A pinch of dried ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg (a pinch of all of them, or which ever ones you’d like)
Instructions
  1. Brew hot tea in a typical coffee cup (all four) for about 4 minutes.**
  2. Pour brew into blender and blend with the rest of the ingredients until smooth. (It just takes a couple of pulses.)
  3. Fill with ice a quart size mason jar (or a heat safe extra large cup) and pour tea over. Adjust flavors as needed and enjoy!
  4. **Frugal Choice: Brew two teabags in half a cup of water and pour into blender. Then brew the same teabags in another half cup of water, and pour into blender. Proceed with step two.
