Using a sieve strain the milk and discard the hibiscus tea/blueberry. Chill in the fridge. Before serving, pour over ice in a glass, top up with little extra chilled coconut milk.

Beetroot Cacao Latte

Heat up the milk to boiling point, then either, add to a blender with the cacao powder, stevia and beetroot powder. Blend for 30 seconds.

Or pour a little of the boiling milk onto the cacao powder, beetroot powder and stevia and mix well, it takes a little while to make a smooth paste,slowly add more milk stirring well. Pour the cacao, beetroot mixture back in with the rest of the hot milk and bring  backup to the boil. Use a whisk or a milk frother hand whisk for a nice foam topping.
