Bahama Mama Loaded Tea Recipe

Water: The base of the drink, used to blend all the ingredients together.

Bahama mama flavor herbal tea concentrate: Provides the signature tropical flavor and a boost of energy.

Collagen: A protein supplement that supports skin, hair, and joint health.

Tropical flavor liftoff: An energy-boosting supplement with a tropical taste.

Mango flavor aloe vera concentrate: Adds a sweet, fruity flavor and aids in digestion.

To enhance the flavor and texture of your Bahama Mama Loaded Tea, consider using chilled water instead of room temperature. This not only makes the drink more refreshing but also helps to better dissolve the herbal tea concentrate and collagen. Additionally, blending on a high setting for a few extra seconds ensures that all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, giving you a smoother and more consistent beverage.

• bahama mama flavor herbal tea concentrate - Substitute with peach herbal tea concentrate: Peach herbal tea concentrate offers a similar fruity and tropical flavor profile that can mimic the taste of Bahama Mama.

• collagen - Substitute with gelatin: Gelatin provides similar benefits in terms of texture and protein content, making it a suitable alternative to collagen.

• tropical flavor liftoff - Substitute with citrus flavor energy drink mix: A citrus flavor energy drink mix can provide a similar boost of energy and a comparable tropical taste.

• mango flavor aloe vera concentrate - Substitute with pineapple flavor aloe vera concentrate: Pineapple flavor aloe vera concentrate offers a comparable tropical sweetness and can effectively replace the mango flavor.

• Allow the Bahama Mama Loaded Tea to cool to room temperature before storing. This helps maintain its flavor and prevents condensation from diluting the drink.
• Pour the tea into an airtight container. Glass jars or BPA-free plastic containers work best to preserve the taste and prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping in.
• Store the container in the refrigerator. The tea will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to give it a good shake before serving, as some ingredients might settle at the bottom.
• For freezing, pour the tea into ice cube trays. This allows you to use the tea cubes in other drinks or smoothies without diluting them with plain ice.
• Once frozen, transfer the tea cubes to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date to keep track of freshness.
• When ready to enjoy, simply thaw the desired amount of tea in the refrigerator or blend the tea cubes directly into a smoothie for a refreshing twist.
• Avoid reheating the tea in the microwave, as it can alter the taste and texture. Instead, let it thaw naturally or use it cold for the best experience.

• Pour the Bahama Mama Loaded Tea into a microwave-safe mug or cup.
• Heat in the microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Stir well.
• If not warm enough, continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the desired temperature is reached.
• Alternatively, pour the tea into a small saucepan.
• Warm over low heat on the stove, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Avoid boiling to preserve the flavors and nutrients of the collagen and aloe vera concentrate.
• Pour back into a glass or mug and enjoy your reheated Bahama Mama Loaded Tea.
