Recipe type: Drinks

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 4 cups coconut milk (store bought or well-filtered homemade)
• 8 tea bags OR ½ cup loose leaf black tea or herbal tea. I use Raspberry Leaf.
• 1-2 tsp stevia leaf
• 8 thin slices of fresh ginger root OR ½ tsp dried ginger root (optional)
• 6 cinnamon sticks
• 8-10 whole cloves or ¼-1/2 tsp clove powder
• 2 cardamon pods (optional but really good)
• 1 teaspoon of real vanilla extract
• Optional: 1 Tablespoon chamomile flowers and ½ tsp dried fennel seeds

Instructions

1. Put water in crock pot and add herbs and spices (I really suggest using a cloth bag or reusable tea bag)
2. Cook on high for 2-2.5 hours or on low for up to 6 (I’ve kept on low overnight). Add milk or coconut milk and stir until heated.
3. Serve plain or topped with real whipped cream or the cream from a can of coconut milk. Can also be chilled and blended with ice and 2 TBSP coconut oil for an iced version!
4. Enjoy!

Notes

TIP: Put all loose spices and herbs in a reusable tea bag or cloth bag to make straining easier.
