Yogi Tea
By lovedriven • Jan 9th, 2009 • Category: Foods That CureTo 5 quarts of boiling water add:
- 2 tbs whole clovers
- ¼ cup whole cardamon pods
- 1 tbs whole black peppercorns
- 1 ½ peeled and sliced fresh ginger root- about ½ inch- optional
- 3 small or 6 large cinnamon sticks
- ¼ tsp of black tea
- Soy milk (with very vanilla tastes great), rice milk or almond milk
Continue low boiling for 30-60 minutes, then turn it off and let it sleep for at east an hour with a ¼ teaspoon of any black tea or tea bag. Strain and refrigerate until time to serve.
When ready to serve, add amount of cold milk or vanilla soy milk equal to the amount of tea you want to serve, heat thoroughly-almost to boiling, don’t let it boil over. Serve and enjoy! You can serve with honey to taste if desired.
The black pepper is a blood purifier, the cardamon is for the colon, the cloves for the nervous system and the cinnamon is for the bones. The milk aids in the easy assimilation of the spices and avoids irritation to the colon. The black tea act as an alloy for all the ingredients, achieving a new chemical structure which makes tea a healthy as well as a delicious drink. The fresh ginger root will help if you are suffering from a cold, recovering from the flu or just want some extra energy. You may also add silk or almond milk as you wish for better taste.
Add milk to the amount you will be drinking and save the rest of the tea in the refrigerator, it will stay up to six months! You may also freeze ingredients and reuse one time with just 2 ½ quarts of water.
