Yogi Chai Tea
For each cup:
- 10 ounces of water (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 3 whole cloves
- 4 whole green cardamom pods, cracked
- 4 whole black peppercorns
- ½ stick cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon black tea
- ½ cup milk (your choice of type)
- 2 slices fresh ginger root
Bring water to a boil and add spices. Cover and boil 15 to 20 minutes, then add black tea. Let sit for a few minutes, then add the milk and return to a boil. When it reaches a boil, remove immediately from heat, strain, and sweeten with honey. The spices used are said to have the following properties.
- Black pepper: blood purifier
- Cardamom pods: digestive aid
- Cloves: beneficial to the nervous system
- Cinnamon: strengthens the bones
- Ginger root: healing for colds and flu, increases energy
- Milk: helps in the easy assimilation of spices.
- Black tea: acts as an alloy for all the ingredients, creating just the right balance.
