Dear Sandy,

 

I have been enjoying the coffee discussion. Seems like most of the points

have been covered.

 

Thanks for finding the yogi tea recipee. I just put in a bunch of the

spices as I know the proportions intuitively now.

 

The tea bag is supposed to be removed in 2 minutes. That avoids some of the

acid from leaking in. Forget the name of the acid. I leave out the tea

bag. And thanks for adding the other dairy substitutes.

 

I pulverize my spices in a small coffee grinder which I call my nut grinder

since I don't drink coffee. Makes the tea strong which I like.

 

Peel the ginger or the tea will be cloudy. I often use dry ginger. It is

easier.

 

The cloves are suppposed to go in first when the water is boiling, then add

the other spices after about 1 minute. I don't like the clove taste. It is

bitter if there is too much. So go light on the cloves.

 

GINGER TEA

 

Ginger tea is also a stimulating tea. Nothing like caffine I am sure but

gives a pick up and prevents and helps heal colds and flu. Just boil fresh

or dried ginger for 15 to 20 minutes and drink alone, with lemon or any milk

substitute. The dried ginger is the best to warm the inside of the body,

ie. for colds and flu.

 

Also liquid ginger in Vit C adds some pep and aids the digestion.

Hi Guys,

I tried Yogi Tea this morning. For me I think I will cut down on the milk

I don't take dairy often) and add a little more tea. I was thinking of

making the tea without the milk and pouring it over ice, then add a splash

of sweetened condensed milk lightly on the top. Of course, I could be

ruining the benefits by doing it this way, but you know how we are in

California; we just can't leave a recipe alone.

Always

Jeff

Rattana Khalsa,

 

The acids in tea are called tannins, I think.

 

Tip - I have much more luck with ginger when it is frozen. I know this probably

goes against a raw foods regimen,

but when it is solid, it is much easier to grate and a sharp knife can shave it

into nearly transparent slices. It also keeps longer.

 

On an unrelated note, all this very frank and revelatory discussion recently is

tempting me to finally make a leap of faith, but I am unsure if this this is the

appropriate forum. One concern: I am loosely affiliated with a regular KY yoga

class at my university taught by a lifelong devotee of Yogi Bhajan. Yet, I still

wrestle with the grave temptation of the material world. I worry that I may be

fouling the atmosphere for the others there who have more faith. I try to be

positive and light but it seems that maybe I abuse the priviledge.

 

Next issue: How can I liberate myself from a bad mantra?

 

God Bless You All,

 

Chris

I wish I could go! But I live near San Francisco and San Diego is what?

500 miles away or so. So far, all the information I have about K came from

one book and what little I can find on the Internet. I really don't think

that all my spiritual growth can be gleaned strictly from books or video

tapes. Let me know if you happen to come to the bay area with a workshop or

two.

 

Thanks

Good tip. I also put fresh ginger in the food processor or with a bit of

water in the blender. Fine for yogi tea or soup like that.
