Yogi Tea...

To 3 quarts of boiling water add:
20 whole cloves, see them dance!
20 whole green cardamom pods (you can open them up)
20 whole black peppercorns
5 sticks of cinnamon

Measurements can vary according to taste. Be careful not to put in too many cloves or cinnamon sticks.

Continue boiling for 15-20 minutes, then add:
1/4 teaspoon of any black tea.

After one or two minutes add:
1/2 cup of cold milk or soya per cup of remaining liquid.


When it returns to boiling point, remove immediately from heat. (Do not boil over) Strain and serve with honey to taste as desired.

One can also strain and save in the refrigerator the mix and at a later date, measure cups of equal milk with mixture, heat and serve.

The black pepper is a blood purifier, the cardamom is for the colon, the cloves for the nervous system, and the cinnamon for the bones. The milk aids in the easy assimilation of the spices and avoids irritating the colon. The black tea acts as an alloy for all of the ingredients, achieving a new chemical structure which makes the tea a healthy as well as a delicious drink.

Slices of fresh ginger root may also be included, especially when you are suffering from a cold, recovering from the flu, or you just want extra energy.
