This is a wonderful tea to drink during winter months and especially during the holiday season as a substitute for the high fat eggnog drinks. Eggnog is approximately 223 calories for one cup and this drink is approximately 110 calories with 50% more calcium than milk! The tea paste is very warming, soothing to your tummy, and loaded with antioxidants. The addition of Pacific Spice Vinegar adds another palate-pleasing layer of flavor!Ingredients:
1 cup vanilla-flavored almond milk
1 teaspoon turmeric tea paste
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon Quail and Olive Pacific Spice vinegar
In a small stainless steel saucepan, heat 1 cup vanilla-flavored almond milk until very warm (not boiling). Add turmeric tea paste and honey and stir to blend. Froth in pan with a whisk or electric immersion mixer. Pour into mug and add vinegar. Gently stir to combine. Top with grated whole nutmeg. Enjoy.
If you prefer to not have spice grounds at bottom of mug, you can strain tea before frothing. Return to pan to froth once you have strained tea and follow next steps.
Note, if you are using regular dairy milk, do not add the vinegar as this will curdle the milk.
