Juicy and herbal, sweet pear with basil, cool mint and a mild green note.
This smoothie layers three herbal notes: basil for a sweet, peppery perfume, peppermint tea for coolness and lamb's lettuce for a mild, nutty green. Ripe pear holds everything together with juiciness and natural sweetness. Pears provide fibre, and leafy greens add folate and vitamin K.
The tea should be brewed ahead and fully cooled. The result is light and not too sweet, a good choice for a warm afternoon or alongside a light lunch.
Yes, baby spinach works just as well.
No, the tea must be fully cooled first.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
