Yogi Tea

Bring water to a fast boil in a stainless steel pot. Add the whole cloves and let them dance for about 1 minute. Add peppercorns, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger root. Turn heat down so it is just simmering, cover the pot and let it lightly boil for 45-60 minutes. Finally, add the black tea (loose or bag) and boil another 5 minutes.

If adding milk and honey, do so after adding the tea bag and letting it steep (or better yet add milk and honey to individual cups or a small batch. That way you can store the raw tea in the fridge and prepare with milk and honey as you go). After adding milk and or honey, bring to a boil one last time.

Remove from heat and let it sit for another hour (or overnight in the refrigerator). This way it gets nice and strong so you can best enjoy this potent spice blend! Strain and refrigerate. Enjoy!
