  • Prepare the Base: Boil water and brew the licorice root tea bag in one cup and holy basil (using a tea ball) in another. Let them steep while you prepare the other ingredients.

  • Add Fresh Ingredients: Toss in the sesame tahini, hemp seeds, arugula, sunflower sprouts, and liquid minerals for added texture and nutrients.
  • Blend with Liquid: Pour the brewed tea into the blender and blend everything until smooth and liquid. Adjust thickness by adding more coconut or seeds if desired.
  • Flavor the Mix: Add the essential oils, stevia powder, chocolate liquid stevia, and Jerusalem artichoke syrup to the blender. Blend once more to combine and taste-test.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Pour the elixir into your favorite mug or glass and savor its warmth and rich, nourishing flavor.

Notes

*Do NOT use Licorice root if you have a history of high blood pressure or glaucoma.

Tips and Variations

  • *Licorice-Free Option: If you have high blood pressure, substitute the licorice tea with vegetable broth, nut milk, or plain hot water.
  • Texture Choices: Use coconut cream for a richer consistency, or try pumpkin seeds for an extra creamy texture.
  • Spice It Up: Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for a chai-inspired twist.
