Make your own Yogi Tea

Recipe inside (save it for later)

One of my go-to yogic recipes – a tea known for its enchanting aroma, healing properties, and cozy warmth. If we all lived together, there'd be a perpetual pot of tea brewing, keeping us strong, healthy, focused, and hydrated.

Crafting your own blend, infused with your love and intention, is a uniquely special experience. You'll discover that it imparts a far more profound and flavorful essence.

Your Shopping List: Cloves, Peppercorns, Cinnamon sticks, Cardamom pods, Fresh ginger, Black tea (loose leaves or tea bags - if you’d rather have it lightly caffeinated, go for tea bags), Milk of your choice, Honey or your preferred sweetener.

You'll need:

• A large pot

• A strainer

• Another pot or container for your tea

For 1.5L of Yogi Tea:

• 1.5 L of water

• 8-ish slices of fresh ginger root (good for digestion, warming, joints, cramps)

• 12 cloves (warming, aromatic, anti-inflammatory, taste, open your mind and give you a little buzz)

• 16 cardamom pods, split the pods! (aromatic, heartburn, balancing acidity, bloating)

• 16 black peppercorns (good for sinuses, circulation, digestion, skin, respiratory system) 

• 2 cinnamon sticks (warming, digestion, soothing for respiratory system, balancing blood sugar, taste)

• 2 tea bags or 2 tsp of black tea (depending on how much caffeine you can take in, if you can’t do caffeine, just ignore the black tea)

• Milk

• Honey

• Love !

Steps:

1. Step an intention. That this tea brings love and healing to you and your family, for example?

2. Bring the water to a boil, and add the spices.

3. Cover and continue boiling for another 15 - 30 minutes. The spices need time to get to know each other.

4. Remove from the hear, add the black tea, and let it steep for 2 minutes.

5. Add the milk, bring to a boil, and remove from heat.

6. Strain and serve into cups with honey.

7. You may reuse the spices for another batch, or just keep adding water to your pot.
