Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 black tea bag ((like English Breakfast tea))
  • ¾ cup boiled water
  • 3 Medjool dates
  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • pinch of ground cloves
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instruction

  • To prepare the tea, add the tea bag to a mug and pour the boiling water over it. Let the tea steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag, and let the tea cool. (You can do this in advance, and start with 3/4 cup of cooled tea.) Alternatively, you can skip this step and use milk instead of tea, for a caffeine-free drink.
  • Add the dates, hemp hearts, flax, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger, cloves, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Add the cooled tea, and blend until very smooth, about 60 seconds, making sure there are no more visible pieces of dates.
  • Add in the ice and blend again until a slushy texture is achieved. Serve right away for a milkshake-like texture. Leftovers won't have the same texture, but you can store them in an ice pop mold in the freezer for a frozen treat later.
