Mama’s Morning Latte

I’m not a morning person (can you tell?) So I love a good pick-me-up when I wake up. With my sensitive stomach, coffee is not an option… so I created a nourishing drink that gives me a little caffeine boost and tastes AMAZING. The nettle is a source of iron, the slippery elm and lemon balm are soothing for my gut, and the other ingredients make it taste great! You can make a batch for the week and keep it in the fridge to enjoy hot or cold every day. 

Ingredients:

2 cups boiling water

1 tsp Nettle Leaf Tea

1 tsp Lemon Balm Tea

1 tsp Slippery Elm powder

1 tsp Cinnamon powder

1 cup Almond Milk

3 Tbsp Honey

1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

½ tsp salt

Preparation:

1. Place 1 tsp nettle leaf and 1 tsp lemon balm in a mason jar
2. Boil water, pour 2 cups over leaves, cover and steep for 10 minutes
3. Strain the tea into a high-speed blender and add all other ingredients
4. Blend on high for 1 minute until frothy
5. Serve immediately with a fresh-baked Mama Emma’s muffin
