Herbal Blend for Latte

Ingredients

• 1/2 C dried elderberries

• 2 T dried ginger root

• 4 T dried rose hips

• 2 t cinnamon

Directions

After adding all the herbs in a glass, put the lid on and shake well. Store in dry place in the kitchen that is out of the sun.

Making your own herbal blends is CHEAPER & FRESHER than buying already made blends or teas, and a great way to avoid pesticide loaded tea bags! The whole blend yields ~16 lattes.

Immune Support Latte

Ingredients

• 1 ½ T herbal blend

• 3 C filtered water

• 1/4 t cinnamon

• 4 t Local honey

• 1 C coconut or almond milk

Directions

1. In a pot, boil 3 C of water.

2. Once boiling, add the herbal blend. Lower the heat to simmer for 15 mins and put a lid on the pot.

3. Let it cool for 2-3 mins.

4. Strain the herbs with a strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press on the herbs to help release more of the liquid. Discard the herbs. (Or even better compost them!)

5. In the same pot, add 1 C of nut milk, the ¼ t cinnamon and raw honey. Heat it up to your taste. (Or you can use a frother if you have one.)

Enjoy! :)
