Chai Green Tea Recipe
Winters in Minnesota seem to be the most difficult months
for me!! I’m not a huge fan of being cold but it’s easier to handle when I have
herbal tea!! Today is a perfect day to cuddle up, watch movies or read a
book while sipping on a hot tasty beverage!! I wanted to share this Chai Green
Tea recipe with you that I love!! Green tea is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits,
supports the liver and increases detoxifying enzymes. It also contains calming L-theanine (great
for mood and anxiety) and alkalizing properties!!
Chai Green Tea
(makes about 2 cups)
1 ½ cups filtered water
4-6 organic green tea bags
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond or coconut milk
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Stevia or honey to taste
1. In a medium saucepan, combine water and tea
bags. Bring to a near boil and remove
from burner. Steep for 5 minutes or
longer to desired strength.
2. Meanwhile, in a small pan, warm the milk,
spices, vanilla extract, and sweetener over low heat. Stir constantly until warm.
3. Remove teabags from pan. Slowly add milk mixture and stir.
