Earl Grey Beetroot Latte

A Vitamix has the power to pulverize even the toughest roots. Raw or cooked, it can take a beet and turn it into a delicious whole-food drink, encompassing fresh ingredients and spices to create a unique drinking beverage.

Ingredients

• 3 cups (720 ml) black tea, brewed, chilled
• ½ cup (70 g) almonds
• 1 slice (6 g) fresh ginger root, about 1"
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (150 g) beet, roasted, chilled

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Hot Soup Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds.

Notes

For a deeper purple color in this beverage, use red beets, or for a more neutral color, use golden beets. Earl Grey's earthiness goes very well with the flavor of beets, but other liquids may be used if desired.
