Instructions

  • Gather and prep ingredients.
  • We will start by making our spice mix. In a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, add all ingredients for spice mix.
  • Crush or blend until powder, set aside.
  • In a small pot add spice mix, water, ginger, and black tea. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add honey, and stir to dissolve.
  • Next, add cashew milk. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes or so.
  • Once you see a film on top we will turn the heat to low and using a ladle scoop and steadily pour the mixture back into the pot to aerate a few times to incorporate all the ingredients and give a smoother texture.
  • Strain liquid into serving cups using a mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  • Serve immediately, and enjoy!
