I grew up with my mom often preparing and slowly sipping on a steamy spicy concoction of ginger and spices. This is a warming drink that can help your digestion get going, or as a pick me up for when you are feeling a bit sluggish. In ayurveda it is suggested to sip our drinks slowly and in small amounts so as not to overwhelm the ‘digestive fire’.
1/2 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
2 cardamom pods
1 inch of ginger
Place all the ingredients in a tea pot and let it sit for 15 mins before serving. If you want a stronger taste, leave for longer or add to a thermos can and close the lid.
Tip: for a bit of sweetness you can add some honey once the tea is cool and around room temperature
Extra tip: you can also add your black tea of preference
