Have you heard of Wild Foods? I had not until a month or so ago. If you are interested in learning more take a few minutes to check out their philosophy and mission. Impressive right? Not only is this company about creating products made from high quality ingredients but it also has a heightened focus on respecting the environment and the laborers that produce the ingredients. If more companies had these same focuses I think it’s easy to say our food system and world would be a better place.
I have tired a few of the Wild Foods products and all are high quality and amazing. By far my absolute favorite is the Wild Tea #1 Coconut Chai. The minute I opened the package I was blown away. It smelled like a traditional chai tea but oh so much better. It’s hard to explain to oh so much better part. I really think you need to experience it for yourself! As soon as I smelled this tea I knew I had to do something special with it. Feeling inspired by fall and my love for chai tea lattes I created these Raw Coconut Chai Tea Macaroons. I think I can say hands down these are one of my favorite treat creations. They aren’t super sweet and totally make me think of a chai tea latte. The best part is you can whip these up with just a few simple ingredients. Enjoy!
- ½ coconut butter/coconut mana
- 1½ cup shredded coconut
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp wild foods chai tea #1 or your favorite chai tea
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp raw honey
- In a coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle grind/crush tea to a powder. You may still have some larger pieces of tea and that is ok.
- Add coconut butter, shredded coconut, sea salt, chai tea, coconut oil and raw honey to a food processor and process until well mixed.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to scoop equal sized macaroons on a parchment lined pan.
- Allow to set in the refrigerator for 15-30 min.
