Creamy Cashew Masala Chai Ice pops
Masala combines a number of warming and grounding spices like cardamom, cloves, pepper, cinnamon and star anise which can assist in digestion, stress relief and overall well-being. Their warming properties mean that this flavour is perfect for when you're craving a cooler treat in late autumn or winter. The creaminess of soaked cashews lends itself well to icy treats that become wonderfully creamy.
