Yogi tea - Definition and Overview

Yogi tea is a spiced tea similar to chai. It is also the brand name of a line of herbal teas.

Directions

Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in 3-4 quart pot. Add 15 whole cloves and boil for 1 minute.

Add 20 black peppercorns, 3 sticks of cinnamon, 20 green cardamom pods (crush or split the pods first,) and 8 or more slices of fresh ginger root (about 1/4" slices; no need to peel.)

Cover and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes. (For best flavor, cover tightly and simmer over low heat for 2 to 3 hours!) Remove from heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of black tea (you can use decaf black tea) and let tea cool. Strain the tea.

Either use it or store it away. When ready to drink, sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup. Add soy or dairy milk.
