Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons (9 g) loose-leaf hibiscus tea
  • ½ cup (125 ml) hot water, for tea brewing
  • ½ cup (120 ml) Almond Milk
  • ½ pound (227 g) sliced frozen bananas
  • ½ pound (227 g) frozen blueberries

Directions

  1. Add the tea to the hot water and allow to steep for desired time, then place into refrigerator until well chilled.
  2. Place the tea, leaves and all, into the Vitamix container along with the almond milk and secure the lid.
  3. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 20 seconds.  Stop the machine. Remove lid and add the frozen ingredients, then secure lid.
  4. Run the Frozen Dessert Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 30-40 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.  In about 25-35 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and four mounds should form. Stop the machine.
