A boldly spiced elixir that holds magical anti-inflammatory powers. One must sip it to believe it.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups Unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond, cashew, coconut)
1 Black tea bag (or 1 tbsp loose leaf tea) or chunk of ground chaga mushroom
1/2-inch Turmeric root, peeled and sliced
1/2-inch Ginger root, peeled and sliced
1 tsp Whole peppercorns
1 tsp Cardamom pods, crushed
1 tsp Honey (or more to sweeten)
PROCEDURE
- In a tea infuser, place the ground chaga mushroom (or loose black tea leaves) if using, along with the peppercorns and cardamom.
- In a small pot, combine the milk, ginger, turmeric, tea bag if using, and the tea infuser. Cover with the lid and bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let the tea cool for 10 minutes. Strain out the turmeric, ginger, tea bag, and tea infuser before stirring in the honey. Enjoy immediately.
NOTES: Recipe can be doubled, and any leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated on the stove-top the next day.
A delicious plant-based one-pot meal.
