Serves 4 Doshic Notes Balancing for all three doshas.

3 cups water 4 cloves 2 pinches nutmeg, ground 2 pinches cinnamon, ground 2 pinches cardamom, ground 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, chopped fine 1 tsp black tea 1 cup milk 2 tsp sugar, Sucanat, or other sugar

Preparation

Boil the water with the spices for 2 minutes. Add the tea and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the milk and heat until hot but not boiling. Add sweetener and serve.
