Gingerbread Tea Latte with Tulsi

Sweetly fragrant and brimming with warm coziness, gingerbread spice is oh so nice. Captivate your senses and fill your cup, literally, with this Gingerbread Tea Latte. Made with our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Breakfast Tea, this hug in a mug mingles festive aroma and rich flavor with a true wellness boost to boot.

We like to go for extra robustness in this holiday beverage by adding an extra sachet of our organic Tulsi Breakfast Tea to a single cup brew, but one will be just as delicious.  Our special blend combines hearty Black Teas with potent Tulsi for a deep, revitalizing infusion that pairs perfectly with signature seasonal spices. The result is a heady delight of pure goodness.

Also known as “The Queen of Herbs”, Tulsi has been revered in India for thousands of years. Tulsi tea leaves can be used to aid in stress relief and uplift mood; support the immune system; and support the body’s natural detoxification process, and more. Add to the mix a healthy sprinkle of piquant fresh ginger, a pinch of nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom, and our ORGANIC INDIA Ceylon Cinnamon, which carries a staggering 41 antioxidants alongside its comforting flavor. 

For sweetener, we include a splash of blackstrap molasses, a byproduct of sugarcane processing that, while still sugar, is packed with nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Gift yourself a soothing lift with just the molasses, or go for something more decadent by swapping out the milk for plant-based eggnog. Enjoy!
