FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Brew the spiced tea base and store it in the fridge, then add frothed coconut milk before serving.
Is this drink caffeine-free?
Yes, there’s no tea or coffee in it—just spices, honey, and milk.
Can I use fresh ginger instead of powdered?
You can, but powdered ginger blends more easily. Use a small piece of fresh ginger and steep it longer.
Where do I find edible rose petals?
Look for them in spice shops, health food stores, or online as “culinary rose petals.”
Can I skip the bee pollen?
Absolutely. It’s decorative and nutritious, but the drink is still lovely without it.
How do I make the coconut milk frothy?
Shake well or use a frother or hand whisk to create soft foam before pouring it over.
