My Nightly Tea Latte Ritual
There is nothing like relaxing at the end of the day with a cup of tea. My favorite combo is a chamomile and rose hip tea. I like to put in a tablespoon of edible rose petals on top (you can also blend them in) when I’m feeling fancy.

Instructions:
Brew the tea, per the bag instructions with the rose petals, using 1.5 cups of boiling water. Drain the tea bags and keep the rose petals in.
Add the Evolution_18 Smoothie Milk and dried edible rose petals to the blender.
Add the tea to the blender and make sure the lid is on tight. You can always place a dry, clean tea towel on top of the lid while it blends too. Blend on low for 15 seconds, and then on high for 30 seconds. Be extra careful when blending hot liquids. Always start on low.
Pour in a big mug, toss a few extra rose petals on top, take a deep breath, and enjoy.
*If you don’t have EVOLUTION_18 Smoothie Milk, you can use 1/4 cup warm plant-based milk plus 1 tablespoon EVOLUTION_18 Overnight Vanilla.
Feliz Latinè Heritage Month! It’s celebrated September 15th through October 15th. I am a proud Latinè, my father is from Chile. I am excited to share my heritage through a paid partnership with Pinterest this month. One of the deepest ways I’ve connected with my Latinè heritage is by drinking ceremonial cacao daily. It’s a plant medicine that has been drunk for thousands of years by the Olmecs, the Mayans, the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Incas, and other cultures. It’s known as a heart opener and it’s cracked mine wide open to opportunities and the potential of my life.
