infused the milk, then turn the heat off. Add the agave nectar stirring so it melts then squeeze the tea bags out and leave your yellow turmeric oat milk to stand so it will cool. Once the tea is cool put it in a blender with a peeled, sliced banana and blend into a runny smoothie. Pour the smoothie mixture into lolly moulds and pop into the freezer.If you don’t have lolly moulds, then chai glasses or paper cups can be used. Just remember that if you want your lolly sticks to be in the centre, you will need to cut a round of paper a little larger that the top of the glass for each lolly cutting a slit in the middle for your lolly stick and so keeping it in place while it freezes. It will take 6-8 hours for your lollies to be frozen and ready to eat. As a final decoration use some bright edible petals from pollyspetals.co.uk to sprinkle on your lollies then you are ready to enjoy this tasty sweet and spicy treat in the sun.
