Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Chill a can of coconut milk overnight (or 10 minutes in the freezer) so the thick cream rises to the top; scoop off 2 tbsp of the solid cream. 1:37
  2. Brew 1 cup of strong chai (or black) tea and pull a single shot of espresso. 0:23
  3. Mix the spices: ¼ tsp cinnamon and ⅛ tsp each of ground ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. A bigger batch keeps well in a small jar. 0:37
  4. Put the hot tea, espresso, 1 tbsp coconut oil, the coconut cream, the spices, 5–10 drops of stevia and ¼ tsp salt in a blender. 1:19
  5. Blend until smooth and frothy, then pour into a mug. Some spice settles at the bottom, so give it a stir as you drink. 2:08

Tip. For a caffeine-free cup, use caffeine-free chai or rooibos and leave out the espresso. The salt is the cook's amount; use a pinch if you prefer it less salty.

Iron6%

1 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (67%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Potassium5%

220 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (45%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Magnesium5%

19 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (44%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Folate5%

20 µg a serve, mostly from hot brewed chai tea (60%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Zinc4%

0.4 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (75%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Selenium4%

1.9 µg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (95%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Calcium1%

14 mg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (36%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin C1%

0.9 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (91%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin E1%

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (27%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin K1%

0.8 µg a serve. Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from thick coconut cream (64%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin A0%

2.8 µg a serve, mostly from ground nutmeg (32%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin B120%

0 µg a serve. Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Omega-30%

0 g a serve, mostly from ground nutmeg (32%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
