Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Goishicha tea leaves authentic fermented tea from Kochi Prefecture
- 1 cup Water filtered, heated to 200°F/93°C
- 1 cup Baby spinach fresh and tightly packed
- 1 ea Frozen banana sliced for easier blending
- 0.5 cup Frozen mango chunks provides natural sweetness and creaminess
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tsp Honey or maple syrup optional, to balance the tea's tanginess
Notes
To save time, brew a large batch of Goishicha tea in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you cannot find Goishicha, you can substitute with Pu-erh tea, though the flavor profile will be less acidic. For a thicker texture, reduce the almond milk by 2 tablespoons.
