I went to the supermarket today (well, it\u2019s past

I was in search of some new tea in the herbal category. And I fell on the Bois Ch\u00e9ri selection of fruity and flavoured teas. They must have been there for quite some time but I had never noticed them before. They had quite a selection, I don\u2019t quite remember how many, but the coconut and vanilla caught my attention.<\/p>\n

(By the way, if you are wondering whether if I’m getting paid to advertise Bois Ch\u00e9ri’s product, uuhhh, sadly no. I was just pleasantly surprised by their new selection of teas).<\/p>\n

By the time I got home, it was already tea time (well, not really, but just a sweet little excuse to taste my new tea!). I had to make something to accompany my tea and I thought of making some crepes. Some coconut and banana ones sounded just right. And they would be easy and quick enough to make.<\/p>\n

Most vegan crepe recipes call for soy milk but I recently developed some weird bowel irritation when consuming soy. So I substituted the soy milk for 2 tablespoons of powdered coconut milk and the crepes turned out very soft. I like the texture, and the coconuty fragrance just added to my \u2018Coconut Tea Break\u2019 theme!<\/p>\n

As coconut milk is already very creamy, I did not add any more margarine or oil in the batter nor for cooking.<\/p>\n

I always use double the ratio of water to flour when making crepes.<\/p>\n

\n150 g plain flour
\n2 tablespoons powdered coconut milk
\n300 ml water
\n2 tablespoons sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla essence
\n\u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n
