Ingredients
- 2-3 Teabags Organic Green Tea
- 2 Tbsp. Grassfed Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
- 3 Cups Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Start by grabbing a good organic green tea.
- Boil your kettle – make sure you use filtered water for this. It comes out with an overall cleaner taste. If you don’t have a kettle, you can boil the water on the stove in a pan. Once your kettle finishes boiling, let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes. You want the water temperature to be between 150F and 175F.
- Get your teabags ready in a large container. I’m brewing 2 cups worth of strong tea.
- Let your teabags brew in the water for 2-4 minutes, depending on what strength level you’d like.
- Remove your teabags from the water. You want to make sure you’re not getting too much dilution in your tea.
- Add your butter and coconut oil to the tea.
- Add your heavy cream to the tea. It should change the color of the tea almost immediately.
- You need to mix the tea with an immersion hand blender. The fats won’t mix if you don’t apply enough pressure to them, so a fork is out of the question.
- Start to blend your bulletproof tea. You’ll notice that froth starts to build up. This is just air coming into the tea – keep blending for about 2 minutes.
- Once finished, you should have a thick layer of froth on the top.
- It’s time to chill the tea. Leave it in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Preferably, you can make this the night before and in the morning the tea will be chilled from being in the freezer overnight.
- Once you take it out of the freezer, you shouldn’t notice too much of a separation between fats. That’s because we spent the time to blend them before chilling it.
- Get your blender out and add your ice to it. I use a Ninja Blender, which cuts through everything I give it.
- Add your tea to the blender, you should have around 1.25 – 1.5 litres of liquid in there.
- Blend everything together for about 5 minutes. You really want to make sure that the ice is thoroughly broken down and everything is incorporated well.
- Once finished, it should look like an iced slushy.
- Ration it out in a cup, or just drink the whole thing!
