Spice tea for Christmas

Spicy tea during the festive feast is a great way to help digest heavy foods.

My top 5 spice teas are:

1) ginger 

2) black pepper

3) clove

4) cardamon

5) lemon

All these spices are great as a tisane or blended with Assam tea leaves making a great spice chai.

I love my masala chai : fresh with whole spices with an organic Assam black tea leaves.

Ayurvedic Chai.

This recipe involves -Assam black tea leaves, cardamon,cinnomon, clove, black pepper, ginger, licorice, and a little nutmeg.  Boil one cup water, one cup milk, add chai mix and sweeten as taste preferences.

Difference between Chai and Ayurvedic Chai

About 10 years ago I started blending my own spices for Winter Chai
(A recipe from my Ayurvedic Teacher).

So what is the difference between Ayurvedic Chai and normal chai?.

The differences is the spices. When we boil the spices in water, it has a detoxifying and cleansing actions.

Sugar and milk provide nourishing and tissue building elements, while Assam black tea is invigorating when prepared in this way.

Ayurvedic Chai is detoxifying,rejuvenating, warming and mucus reducing.
