Instructions
- Place 1 black tea bag in a mug and pour ¾ cup boiling water over it. Steep 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature (you can chill it in the refrigerator if you prefer).
- Pit the 3 Medjool dates if they are not already pitted.
- Add the pitted dates, 2 tablespoons hemp hearts, 1 tablespoon ground flax seed, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ? teaspoon ground ginger, a pinch of ground cloves, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
- Pour the cooled ¾ cup tea into the blender. Blend on high until very smooth, about 60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed and making sure there are no visible pieces of dates.
- Add 1 cup ice cubes to the blended mixture and blend again until a slushy, milkshake-like texture is achieved.
- Serve immediately. Leftovers will have a different texture; to enjoy later as a frozen treat, pour into ice-pop molds and freeze.

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
Tip:
If your dates are not soft and squishy, add them to the mug while you brew the tea. The hot water will help soften them as the tea steeps, and then you can just dump the whole mug of tea and dates into the blender!
Don’t have dates on hand?
Replace them with a frozen banana, instead. In that case, you won’t need to add as much ice to achieve a slushy texture.
