yoga tea recipe

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam

Dharam could you help me with this question?

I have the recipe for yoga tea that is from Jagan Nath

Singh, which I got from www.sahej.com/yogi_tea.html.

Whole Foods does not sell the premixed yoga tea any

more. I just made my first batch of tea about three

weeks ago. I am finding that the recipe is way too

stronge for me.

 

I would like to know if there is a way to brake down

the recipe into smaller proportions, especial the

cinnamon and ginger. Is it OK to use 8 sicks of

cinnamon and just a 1/2 of cup of ginger? Any help

would be well appreciated. I really love my yoga tea

in the morning and I do not want to have to start

drinking coffee again.

Sat Nam Guru Sadhana Seva,

 

In Yogi Bhajan's _The Golden Temple Vegetarian Cookbook_ it gives

the following ingredients for smaller quantities. My adaptations (I

am not an expert <g>) are in parentheses.

 

per cup:

 

10 ounces water

3 whole cloves

4 whole green cardamom pods, cracked

4 whole black peppercorns

1/2 stick cinnamon (I use 3" sticks)

1/4 tsp. black tea (I don't know if it's kosher but I use decaf

green tea)

1/2 cup milk (I use unsweetened Silk or Edensoy soy milk, and

usually less than 1/2 cup; some here have extolled almond milk in

yogi tea)

2 slices fresh ginger root, optional (but really good!)

 

I hope this helps. I usually multiply by 4 and make a quart. For

economy, I sometimes save the spices, add water, and cook it again

for a second batch, but I don't try to get a second quart out of it,

usually 2 more cups.

 

Please feel free to correct me if anyone sees a mistake I may be

making. <s>

 

A related question: I would like to know if the last step of

bringing back to a boil after adding the milk is important when

using non-dairy milk. It's a lot quicker if one doesn't do this. <s>

 

Thanks to everybody for being here!

 

Take care and have a wonderful happy day,

Hey, does Yoga Tech have this cookbook? I am in the transition of becoming vegetarian and it's going GREAT! You guys don't even have to post this to the list cause you probably all know the answer. I'd love to have that.

 

Thanks,

 

Jennifer

Sat Nam ji,

I'm out of town and not checking email as much as usual. If

you're used to the boxed tea you WILL find the traditional recipe

strong, as the the boxed tea is not at all strong, to me. As a matter

of fact when only boxed tea is available I would use two tea bags per

cup of tea. All that aside, why not simply increase the amount of

water OR, as you have already proposed, cut the ingredients in half? I

wouldn't encourage changing the proportions, generally speaking, but

maybe you own constitution is trying to tell you something. One size

may not fit all. Incidently, I know several folks who make an "evening

version" without the black tea. It's much lighter, and very much like

the boxed tea, to me.

By the way, all Jagan Nath Singh did with the recipe was make it so

that one could measure out the ingredients with tablespoons and

teaspoons, and not have to count out each clove, peppercorn, etc. by

hand to make a bigger batch of this blessid liquid.

To bed, to bed said sleepy head,
