How to Make Yogi Tea
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 quarts of water with 4 cinnamon sticks (about 2 inches each), 6 green cardamom pods (lightly crushed), 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, and 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (peeled and roughly chopped).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue to simmer for 2 hours, adding more water as needed to maintain the liquid level.
- Remove from heat and let the spice mixture steep overnight (at least 8 hours).
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the solids.
- Gently reheat the strained tea.
- Add 1-2 teabags of high-quality black tea. Steep for 1 minute, then remove teabags. (The black tea is a key healing catalyst in this recipe!)
- Store the finished tea in the refrigerator. Enjoy hot or cold. Add milk and honey to taste before serving.
