- ½ tsp. of pastured or regular butter or 1 tsp MCT oil

Sounds refreshing…
I make this sip almost every day! So good, and it seems to keep oncoming sleep-deprived headaches at bay (nursing mama, here).
*The one thing I found that I thought might be helpful to share with others who want to try this, is make sure you blend the butter (or MCT oil) with the hot tea at the beginning, before you add more cold water and all the rest of the ingredients. The first time I made it, I just dropped everything in according to instructions, but when I blended it up at the end, the butter just collected in little cold pieces at the top. It was still delicious, but kind of strange with the little pieces of butter sliding down my throat. 🙂
Thanks so much for this recipe- I really do love it!
I think the brand of tea would make a difference as far as amount of minty flavor — what do you use?
Sounds wonderful! Bailey’s isn’t minty at all though.
We used Traditional Medicinals organic brand, but I believe there are a lot of good ones out there!
We did use several drops of the YL essential peppermint oil too!
@Elise…great tip…I’m sure that first go round was a bit slippery 🙂
Might be refreshing frozen into ice cubes for ice tea during the summer months!
Enjoy!
