Coconut Mint Chai

Bring the water and spices to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Let steep, covered, for half an hour. Now add the mint leaves or tea bags and milk and bring to a boil again.

Let steep for a few minutes, strain through a sieve, sweeten with maple syrup or date syrup and enjoy lukewarm.

Tip
Mint chai is a delicious, refreshing drink, especially on hot days. You can, of course, also prepare it with cow's milk or any plant-based drink.
