The Mid-Afternoon Refreshment: Cardamom cinnamon turmeric iced tea

There are just too many ways we can describe this drink. Spiced iced tea… chai spiced tea… golden milk iced tea… iced masala tea… your favorite vegan smoothie recipe idea that’s also gluten-free.

This is the perfect 3 pm pick-me-up drink. It’s gentle, with an explosion of exotic flavors that wakes you up. This concoction is a turmeric and spiced version of the Thai iced tea.

Add these ingredients to your shopping list:

For the chai tea:

  • 3 cups of water
  • 1-2 tsp loose leaf tea
  • ¼ tsp chai spice (or a big pinch of cardamom, cinnamon and black pepper)
  • ½ tsp grated ginger
  • A dash of stevia (based on your personal preference of sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • Your daily serving of BalanceOil+ Vegan

And the turmeric milk:

  • 1 cup coconut milk (or your vegan milk of choice)
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • A dash of stevia (based on your personal preference of sweetness)
  • Ice cubes

Start with the tea ingredients first, adding them all into a saucepan. Simmer for two minutes, strain, and set to the side. Once cool, do a sweetness taste test.

Mix the coconut milk with turmeric, cinnamon, and stevia. To bring out the flavors, heat the milk. In a tall glass, add ice cubes and the tea mixture ¾ of the way, then serve with turmeric milk.
