Ice tea slushie

[Guest guest]

For the newbies out there, just made an ice tea slushie from fresh brewed tea,

flavored your own way. Fast and refreshing. Adding mint to ice tea is also

great.

Just wondering if you have a liquid to ice ratio? I'm brand new to Vitamix. Thanks! Pam T From: flnancy1958 <flnancy1958@...> Sent: Sunday, May 6, 2012 8:43

That sounds wonderful. I love chai tea, I'll make some tomorrow and make a

slushie after cooling the tea and freezing some cubes. Thanks for the idea. I

never thought of that. This group is very inspiring!

I made chai tea ice cream today! Fabulous. I quickly took some over to my

friend who loves chai tea and she loved it too. I

Here is the recipe for Chai Tea by Martha . I usually double or triple

the recipe. I think I already posted this before.

3 cups water

1 cinnamon stick

10 cardamom pods

7 whole cloves

1 star anise

tea bag

1/3 cup milk

Bring first 5 ingredients to boil, simmer for 30 minutes. Turn off stove. Add

tea bag - you can use green or black tea. Steep 5 minutes. Strain.

Refrigerate. You can add sugar, honey, stevia or whatever sweetener you want

before you put the tea in the refrigerator or add stevia afterwords.

To make the ice cream today I put 1 cup almond milk into the Vitamix, 1 large

handful spinach, 1 tablespoon chia gel (I add to everything) and 3 cups frozen

chai tea already sweetened with a little honey and stevia from my own plants.

It was amazingly good and a beautiful bright green color.

I plan to make more tomorrow for my husband.

Thanks for the idea of using tea in a slushie, when you add milk I call it ice

cream. Although you could just use the tea cold and frozen without the milk and

it would have been good.
