Hemp Milk Chai
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 2 teaspoons chlorella powder
- 1 teaspoons reishi or cordyceps powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
- 1 1/2" piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
- 16 cardamom pods
- Very small pinch of kosher salt
- 4 bags strong black tea
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Puree hemp seeds and 3 cups cold water in a blender until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (a sheet of cheesecloth or nut-milk bag also work) into an airtight container.
- Mix together chlorella, reishi, and cardamom in a small bowl.
- Bring cinnamon sticks, ginger, cardamom pods, salt, and 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until very fragrant, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat; add tea. Cover and let sit 5 minutes.
- Strain chai mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan. Add maple syrup and 2 cups hemp milk (save the rest for another use); cook over medium heat, whisking if milk separates, just until hot. Divide among mugs; top with superdust.
- Hemp milk can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
