Guest guest Posted September 15, 2000 Report Share Posted September 15, 2000 For 2 quarts, boil 20 green cardamom pods (crack them open), 20 black peppercorns, 15 whole cloves, 3 cinnamon sticks, and several slices of sliced ginger root. Boil at least 30 minutes, turn off the heat and steep 1 tablespoon of black tea for 2 minutes and strain. This mixture is good for a couple of weeks in the fridge. To serve, add half as much milk (dairy, soy, rice, almond...) as the mixture and reheat. Add honey if desired. Of course you can adjust the recipe to your taste. I like a little extra cinnamon and ginger. YB has recently been suggesting that in the morning, before sadhana, you sip (slowly!) a cup of cold yogi tea, without milk or honey. I find I have to cut back on the ginger for this or it bothers my stomach. Enjoy! Love, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Sat Nam, Claudia: Only one cup of yogi tea will cause you live forever with perfect health! Well, perhaps I'm overstating a little Actually, it acts as a mild stimulant, helps to correct nervous system damage caused by drugs, and acts as a tonic to the nervous system to improve memory and balance the system. It is a remedy and preventive measure for colds, flu, and diseases of the mucous membranes. For men, it replenishes sexual fluids, for women, it helps with menstrual cramps and fatigue. An ancient yogic scripture on sex suggests women should have a cup before, men, aftwards. For children, it helps with cutting teeth (diluted with milk, soak a cotton cloth and allow the child to suck on it). Some specifics: Black pepper is a blood purifier, cardamom is for the colon, and together they support brain cells. Cloves are for the nervous system, cinnamon is for the bones. Ginger is for strengthening the nervous system and is good for colds, flu and physical weakness. Milk helps with the digestion of the spices and avoid irritation of the stomach and colon. The black tea is necessary - it acts as a catalyst for the other ingredients, so do not substitute herb tea.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 whats the recipe again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Dear All, I want to add to the yogi tea recipee. Re the black tea. I leave it out. If you add black tea, use a tea bag and leave it in only 2 minutes, not more. It is possible to strain all the spices after the 2 minutes, but that ususally does not happen. So to be safe, tea bag and removal is the easiest way. Otherwise some acid--(someone will know what it is--starts with "t" gets in the tea and that is not good.) I personally grind my spices in a nut or coffee grinder. It makes the tea much stronger. I also use a lot of ginger. I use 2 or 3 inches sliced up or put in a food processer. Now I must add that even old timer KY people have been knocked out cold with the potency of my tea, but I love it. I will leave the recipee below for those who want to see it again.

For me it's enough. My subconscious registered that and assumes for now on that I'll live forever in perfect health. Well, to tell you the truth it's very easy for him (my sub) because I never had a mere headacke. Thanks!
