Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Batabatacha leaves Loose leaf fermented tea
- 1 cup Filtered water Heated to 200°F/93°C
- 1 cup Baby spinach Fresh and tightly packed
- 1 cup Frozen mango chunks For natural sweetness and chill
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt Or coconut yogurt for vegan option
- 1 tbsp Hemp seeds For healthy fats and protein
- 0.5 tsp Fresh ginger Grated or finely minced
- 1 tsp Honey Optional, to balance the earthy tea notes
Notes
If you cannot find Batabatacha, Pu-erh tea is the closest fermented substitute. For a thinner consistency, add a splash of almond milk. Store any leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 12 hours, though separation is natural—shake well before drinking.
