Ingredients

Tea Concentrate Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 6 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 4 black tea bags
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Pinch black pepper
Latte Ingredients - Makes 1 Single Latte
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk or the milk of your choice-- coconut and regular milk froth the best
  • 3/4 teaspoon coconut sugar more or less to taste
  • 1/4 cup tea concentrate
  • 1/8 teaspoon Turmeric

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the tea concentrate, combine all ingredients except for tea bags and vanilla in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. 
  2. Remove from heat and add the tea bags and vanilla. Let the mixture steep for at least 10 minutes.
  3. Pour through a fine mesh strainer. Put the concentrate into a sealable container and refrigerate until ready to use. This will keep for up to 7 days. Shake well before using.
  4. To make 1 latte, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut sugar and turmeric in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat just until the mixture bubbles around the edges of the pan. Remove from heat.
  5. Combine the warm milk mixture with 1/4 cup of the tea concentrate in a glass. Stir to combine. Garnish with ground cinnamon if desired. You can adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less sugar to taste; I prefer this only mildly sweet.
  6. Note: If you prefer a frothy latte, use a milk frother or transfer the milk mixture to a deep container and pulse with an immersion blender until frothy. Then combine with 1/4 cup of tea concentrate and serve.

Notes

  • You will also need: Small saucepan, fine mesh strainer, immersion blender (optional)
