Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Sat Nam Kelly: Yogi tea is a nervous system tonic which can help repair the damage done by drugs, improve memory, and help balance you. It acts as both a remedy and a preventive for colds, flu, and diseases of the mucous membranes. It is also a mild stimulant and can give you the energy to achieve your goals. The best way to make it is to create a large batch to keep in the fridge and reheat when needed - here is a recipe: 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. A teabag is a good way to make sure you don't leave tea leaves in the mixtures after straining (tea contains tannic acid, and if you leave the tea in for longer than a couple of minutes you'll get far too much of it). 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. Many blessings, Sadhant Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2000 Report Share Posted November 23, 2000 Thank you very much! I have another question for you... is it a common practice to change your name or to have a name given to you when you practice Kundalini under a Kundalini Master? I have known many who have returned from India or from Ashrams with a new name. Is it because of the spiritual transformation..? How would one choose a name or is it given? Sat Nam. wanting a new name...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2001 Report Share Posted January 24, 2001 Hi fellow yogi tea lovers! > Can you use soy milk instead of cow's milk? Sure, soy, almond, rice, goat's milk, whatever you prefer. >What's the tannic acid and what does it do? Found in black (& green) tea, it is what gives that astringent effect and bitter taste. It interferes with food digestion and is somewhat toxic to bacteria (including the beneficial ones). On the other hand, it also increases saliva production, which is good for digestion, so we want a little, but not too much. Also, avoiding tannins appears to be helpful to people who are prone to migraines. Blessings, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
