Black Pepper - Blood Purifier
Cardamom pods - digestive aid
Cloves
- beneficial to the nervous system
Cinnamon

The
milk in the tea helps in the easy assimilation of spices. A homeopathic dose of
black tea acts as an alloy for all the ingredients, creating just the right
chemical balance. While it is not a part of the original recipe, the use of
soy, rice or almond milk can be used.
Instructions
Bring water to a boil and add spices. Cover and boil 15-20 min, then add black tea. Let sit for a few minutes, then add the milk and return just to the boil and remove from heat, strain and sweeten with honey if desired.
Enjoy!
