Plant-based iced coffee

Estelle

This drink's taste might make you think it's real iced coffee, but no! Grain coffees are plant-based coffee substitutes: barley, chicory, beetroot and sometimes even dandelion. The best part is you can easily find them in bulk stores and grocery stores.

Special mention to Amour Tonique who make delicious ones, and who completely won me over by incorporating medicinal mushrooms into their potions. Their mushroom-based blends are not only caffeine-free, but rich in medicinal properties that build energy over the long term, as most medicinal mushrooms do.

Quick recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 tsp of instant grain coffee
  • 1 cup of plant-based milk of your choice* (I especially like the creaminess of oat or soy for these recipes. Even more so if homemade! )
  • sweetener of your choice** (optional) (I like adding a drizzle of maple syrup or a bit of honey.)
  • ice cubes

Preparation steps

1. Put all the ingredients in the blender and pulse until the desired texture. A kind of liquid slush is ideal.

2. Pour into a glass and enjoy with a reusable straw to make things easier.

3. Give yourself a couple of pats on the back for enjoying a healthy drink in a container that won't end up in the trash! What more could we want?
