A wonderful tea and is so delicious that it can actually be addictive!
But it’s a healthy one!
Many years ago Marinita (RIP) our yoga teacher shared with us a yogi tea recipe, I do not remember well what she used but she definitely inspired me so I have developed my own, it so good you want to give this one a try.
Add the following to purified boiling water:
about 9 whole green cardamom
9 whole black peppercorns
9 whole cloves
2 sticks of cinnamon
a few slices of fresh ginger
(no need to peel )
1 Star of anise
SometimesI add bay leaf
Any of the ingredients and the specified amounts are completely optional!
You’ll know once you try this recipe out, what you want to alter if at all. Many of you have tried my version with sliced apples, or tangerine, fennel they are all delicious.

Simmer on low for 25 to 30 minutes .
Drain into a bigger pot, pouring the liquid through a strainer to capture all of the spices so that only the liquid remains.
Then pour 4 & 1/2 cups of your desired milk or water, if you prefer, into the pot, stir and heat it all up together.
My version can be made with either dairy or non-dairy milk
(i.e. soy, almond, hemp or dairy milk).
Or, if you prefer, you can also make it without milk, which is the way I most often drink it.
For a slight variation, you can add a teaspoon or two of cacao (raw chocolate) to each cup. Cacao is an amazing superfood and has compounds in it that raises serotonin (the feel-good chemical).
Hope you enjoy
Let me know !
