#4 Banana Bread Chai 4:09

1 black tea bag
1 tbsp banana bread syrup (or to taste)
¾ cup hot water (180ml)
¼ cup oat milk (60ml)
*serves 1

#5 Homemade Apple Cider 4:30

4-6 apples, quartered
1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice, whole
1-2 tsp vanilla bean paste
1 handful cardamom pods
5 cups water (1250ml)
juice of 1/2 lemon (optional)

→ simmer on low for 2 hours, with the lid on, but make sure it has a whole for the steam to escape!
→ serves 3-4

#6 Pistachio Milk 6:04

80g unsalted pistachios with shells on (¾ cups)
→ without shells they should be ½ cup in volume
pinch of salt
2 tbsp agave syrup (or to taste)
2 cups (500ml) water


*If you go for roasted pistachios, expect a slightly roasted, slightly savory flavor. I didn’t mind that, but a safer choice is to go for unroasted / unsalted pistachios!

**Use a cheesecloth that you put over the fine strainer, when straining the milk!

SERVE HOT:
heat 1 cup of the milk, add 1 dash of cinnamon, more sweetener, if needed, OR:
top with sweetened whipped soy cream and more cinnamon.
→ serves 1
