Yogi Tea is an incredibly healing, medicinal drink that you can enjoy hot or cold daily for liver & spleen cleansing and increased immunity.
Make a large pot and enjoy over a few days.
In a large pot, bring 2.8 litres (3 quarts) of water to a boil. Then add:
- 20 whole cloves
- 20 whole green cardamom pods (optional: gently crush them under a rolling pin or with a mortar and pestle to open them up)
- 20 whole black peppercorns
- 5 sticks of cinnamon
- Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger
- Optional: add honey or other sweetener to taste.
Continue simmering for at least 20 minutes and then add ¼ tsp of a mild black tea. After another minute or two, add ½ pint of milk per pint of remaining liquid. The original recipe calls for cow’s milk but any type of milk is fine – cow, goat, almond, soy, hemp, etc. At the studio, we use oat milk. There is no need to measure the milk, just eyeball it.
Cleanses the liver and spleen, boosts immunity
