Ingredients

2 tsp Mao Jian loose leaf tea high quality, silver-tipped
0.5 cup hot water heated to 175°F/80°C to prevent bitterness
1 cup frozen mango chunks for creamy texture
1 medium banana ripe or frozen
0.5 cup Greek yogurt plain or honey flavored
1 tsp honey optional, to taste
0.25 cup almond milk unsweetened, used to adjust consistency
1 tsp fresh ginger grated for a spicy kick

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and the honey with agave nectar. You can steep the tea the night before and keep it in the fridge to save time in the morning. If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, add 1/2 cup of ice to maintain the frosty texture.
