This is the tea made and passed out at the end of class at YogaYoga in Austin. Ingredients:
2 quarts water |
15 whole cloves |
20 green cardamom pods |
20 black peppercorns |
3 cinnamon sticks |
8 slices gingerroot |
1/2 teaspoon black tea |
3 cups milk, can use soy |
Directions:
1. Bring water to boil in a 3-4 quart pot.
2. Add cloves and boil for one minute.
3. Add cardamom pods (to better release flavor, crush or split pods), peppercorns, cinnamon sticks and gingerroot.
4. Cover and simmer for 1-2 hours (longer = stronger).
5. Add black tea (can use decaf).
6. At this point you can cool the tea, strain it and refrigerate. I usually let it cool over night before straining.
7. Or strain immediately and add the milk, return to boil and immediately remove from heat (or it will boil over).
8. Add sweetener to taste (we like honey).
