No-Milk Dandy Latte Recipe

This recipe is provided for your inspiration and does not take into account individual needs to allergies. Please adjust the ingredients to suit your individual needs.

Dandelion and chicory are naturally bitter, which gives them their grounding and detoxifying qualities. In larger amounts, this bitterness can be slightly drying, especially for vata dosha. In this recipe, I’ve balanced these qualities with ghee and tahini to create a creamy, soothing drink ~ and, as always, moderation is key.

Ingredients (for 1 cup):

1 cup hot water

1 tsp roasted dandelion/chicory blend

½ tsp tahini

½ tsp ghee

Pinch of cardamom

Pinch of cinnamon

Optional sweetener of your choice (I love jaggery or maple syrup)

Method:

Pour hot water over the roasted dandelion/chicory blend and let it steep for 3-5 minutes then strain.

Add tahini, ghee, cardamom and cinnamon to a metal jug or blender ~ then add the dandy tea (If using a blender, allow the tea to cool sufficiently before adding ~ once blended, you can gently reheat in a small pot if desired.).

Blend until creamy and frothy.

Add a little sweetener (allow to cool below 37 degrees if adding honey)

Sip slowly and enjoy xox

Tips:

Adjust spices to taste ~ other spices to consider include nutmeg (warming), coriander (cooling) and ginger (warming).

For a vegan option, coconut oil also works well in place of ghee.

Perfect for a calm, grounding and nurturing morning ritual
