Yogi Tea is my favorite drink! I had this in Austin, Texas after a yoga class and my life has never been the same! It is similar to chai...but much, much better. I hope you enjoy it!
To make two quarts:
* 2 quarts water
* 15 whole cloves
* 20 black peppercorns
* 3 sticks of cinnamon
* 20 whole cardmon pods (or 2 tsp. cardmon powder)
* 8 ginger slices (1/4" thick, no need to peel)
* 1/2 teaspoon black tea leaves
* Milk and Honey to taste
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a 3-4 quart pot. Add cloves and boil for one minute. Next, add cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and fresh ginger root. Cover and boil for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours! When ready, remove from heat, add black tea and let cool. Strain tea. When ready to drink, add soy or dairy milk and sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.
