3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
To brew the tea, I recommend using a tea infuser or tea strainer to allow the flavors to meld together.
Steeping the tea in boiling water for 5 minutes brings out the best flavor and aroma.
I also like to add a few slices of fresh ginger to the tea while it steeps for an extra boost of flavor.
After brewing, I stir in the almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract to create a creamy and sweet tea that’s perfect for sipping on a chilly morning or afternoon.

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
