8 to 12 inches fresh turmeric or 1/3 - 1/2 cup dried

4 inches fresh ginger or about 2 to 3 TBSP dried (depending on how “spicy” you want it, you can add more or less ginger)

2 ish cups warm water, or as needed to blend

Whole chai spices, toasted in a dry pan until fragrant. See below for details on spices!

Pinch of salt

20 dried pitted medjool dates (more if you prefer it to be more sweet)

1 TBSP coconut oil (or butter or oil of choice)

2 - 3 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Wash ginger & turmeric & peel off any dirty spots that won’t wash off. No need to remove the whole peel since we are going to strain it anyways!
Add all ingredients except for dates and coconut oil, to a blender and blend until smooth, adding more water if needed.
Using a fine mesh sieve, pour your mixture through to remove the fibers. Put that aside.
