Mel's Recipe for Healing Tea

Mel made this tea for two nuns, who found it very healing.
It's very nice to make tea for a sick friend and deliver it to them. Even better if you stay and chat while they drink it.


The recipe

1 tsp black pepper corns
1 tsp Cardamon seeds
1 tsp cloves
2 sticks cinnamon
1 inch x inch piece of ginger peeled and thinly sliced.
1 black tea bag
8 cups of water

Grind the pepper corns, and cardamon seeds together.
Add to boiling water.
Add cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. simmer for 45 mins.
Add the tea bag for one minute at the end and then remove.
Strain and serve.

You can take this concentrate and heat with either water, milk, soy......
and sugar or honey. How ever you like it. It can be 50/ 50 concentrate or more or less depending on how you like it.
You can also add it to latte style milks frothy style.

I recited Medicine Buddha mantras while making that batch.
