One of my favorite things to do at Christmas-time
is to make a warm cozy drink.
Two of my favorite winter holiday drinks are
Plant-Based Eggnog
and
Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte.

Here are the recipes!

Plant-Based Eggnog

This is an easy recipe to make and it is plant-based and
gluten-free. I try to always use all organic ingredients!

Ingredients:

1½ c. unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk

1 organic banana

Pinch of nutmeg

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. raw date sugar or maple syrup or raw honey

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy.

2. Sprinkle a tiny bit of nutmeg on the top of the filled cups
for a nice presentation.

Note: This recipe is easy to double.

Serves one to two.

Cinnamon Chai Tea Latte

This is a holiday drink made with cinnamon, which boosts your immune system, aids in digestion and circulation, and helps regulate blood sugar. I use Ceylon cinnamon, because I believe it is the healthiest. See note below.

gluten-free/vegetarian

Ingredients:

2 cups unsweetened vanilla coconut or hemp milk (milk of choice)

1 tsp. Blue Lotus Rooibos Chai (Blue Lotus Chai – made with organic spices. It’s an instant tea that doesn’t require steeping and it’s gluten-free!)

2 tsp. date sugar or honey (to taste)

A few dashes of organic Ceylon Cinnamon

½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Put the tea and the sweetener of choice in your cup.

2. Warm your coconut or hemp milk on the stove making it warm to touch, but not too hot.

3. When it’s just warm, add about 1/2 a cup of the milk to your cup. (If you have a frother, use a frother to mix it well or whisk it to blend.)

4. Add the remainder of your milk and sprinkle a touch of cinnamon on top!

5. Serve warm.

Note:

Cinnamon is a spice, and it’s obtained from the inner bark of a few tree species. Research shows that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar, and triglyceride levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon contains antioxidants that create healthier arteries and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cinnamon can also benefit us with increased alertness and energized senses. Even a teaspoon a day helps tame blood sugar levels.

Ceylon cinnamon is the best cinnamon to use. Cassia, Saigon, and Chinese cinnamon contain five percent coumarin, which is problematic for the liver. Ceylon cinnamon has only .0004 percent coumarin.
