Directions

In a small pot over medium heat, bring 1 quart of water to a simmer. Add tea bags and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until tea is dark brown.
Add almond milk, coconut milk, ground ginger, honey and vanilla to the tea and stir until well combined. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Add bananas to the tea mixture and puree with an immersion blender. Serve the smoothie warm.

Chef Tips

If you do not have an immersion blender, allow the tea to cool slightly before blending in a standard blender. When blending hot liquids in a blender, it’s best to only fill the blender halfway and to hold the lid down with a towel just in case the steam causes the lid to pop off.
