Ingredients
- 2 tsp Tamaryokucha loose leaf tea high quality Japanese green tea
- 0.5 cup hot water heated to 175°F/80°C
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk chilled
- 1 large frozen banana sliced before freezing
- 0.5 cup frozen mango chunks adds natural sweetness
- 1 tsp honey optional, adjust to taste
- 0.25 tsp fresh ginger grated

Notes
For the best flavor, use water just below boiling to preserve the tea's delicate antioxidants. To make ahead, you can brew the tea the night before and store it in the refrigerator. If you prefer a bowl version, reduce the almond milk by half and top with granola and fresh berries.
