Day 20 - Yogi Tea

I think it is time for some Yogi Tea, even though it should be Lemonade weather by now!

Ingredients

For each cup

10 oz of water (about 1 1/3 cups)

3 whole cloves
4 whole green cardamom pods, cracked
4 whole black peppercorns
1/2 stick cinnamon
1/4 tsp black tea
1/3 C Milk (Soy, Almond, Rice)
2 slices fresh ginger root

The ingredients of Yogi Tea 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

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!
