Method
 

  1. Heat 8 ounces of fresh cold water in a kettle or pot until it reaches a rolling boil (about 5 minutes).

  4. Steep the tea for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your chosen tea type and desired strength.
  5. Remove the tea bag or infuser, gently squeezing against the mug to extract the last drops of flavor.
  6. Add 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk to the hot tea and stir until fully combined.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar while the tea is still hot to ensure it dissolves completely.
  8. Add a pinch of sea salt and stir once more to balance the flavors.
