Ohhhhhh, this is a good one. Keep in mind I’m a kitchen witch. So these measurements are a starting point. Feel free to tweak as you desire.
What You Need:
A Large Sauce Pan & a small one
A fine strainer
3 Quarts of Water
2 tsp ground Tumeric
2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground Clove
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp fresh ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Ground Cardamom
1/2 tsp Fresh Grated Nutmeg
1 cup of dried Nettle leaf
1/8th cup dried Lavender Flowers
Milk of choice ( I use Almond or Hemp)
Sweetener of choice (I use real Maple Syrup or Raw Honey)
Fill your saucepan with the water and add all of the herbs/spices EXCEPT the Nettle & Lavender. Stir well as you bring water to a boil then IMMEDIATELY turn to low. Let it gentle simmer on low for about 20-30 min. Then, turn the heat off, add the Nettle & Lavender and cover the pot. Let it sit another 20-30 minutes. In another sauce pan, heat your milk of choice. Use frother if you like to get that latte effect. I use this one. After the 30 min (the tea should still be hot- if not just gentle heat it back up), fill 3/4 of your mug up with the tea mixture (use the strainer), then fill the rest with your milk & froth. Add sweetener to taste. Enjoy! Drink plenty & drink often! xoA
*You can strain and store the rest of the tea in your fridge for up to 4 days, reheating and adding milk/sweetener as desired.
