, #Spiced Ginger Chai Tea to warm up this winter Makes 4 servings Ingredients - 1/4 inch piece of ginger (grated) - 3 cardamom pods (take out the seeds & crush the seeds) - 1 cinnamon stick - 1 vanilla bean (or good quality paste) - 4 cups of water - 3 teaspoons brown sugar, or honey or maple syrup (optional) - 3 tea bags, preferably strong black tea such as Assam - 1 cup of half-and-half Instructions 1. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan or small pot. As the water heats up, add the ginger, cardamom and, if using, brown sugar. 2. Once water has reached a boil, reduce to medium-low heat so it simmers with gentle bubbles. Add the tea bags and half-and-half. Using tea bags simplifies the process. 3. Let the liquid slowly come to a boil once again, then remove from heat. 4. Remove tea bags and carefully pour tea into teapot or cups. #healingsoup, #drtaotcm, #ginger, #spice, #wintersolstice, #chai, #taoacupuncture, #cardamon, #cinnamon,
