Monica's Chai Tea Recipe

4 C water

plenty of fresh ginger (about 1-2 tbsp)

crushed cardamom seeds and pods (about 1-1.5 tbsp)

8 T of black tea

8 T of sweetener of choice

 

milk (the higher the fat the better)

 

boil water and add fresh ginger, cardamom seeds and pods, then black tea, while you chant your favorite mantra

remove from heat, cover, and go meditate, do some yoga, make love, or play with your kids.

strain all the stuff out so only the beautiful shaktified water remains.

add sugar.

put in a beautiful glass jar and set in the sun if you would like it to become sun charged.

whenever you want chai, add equal amounts chai mix and water and sit with your Divine Self or loved ones and imagine the taste of the chai filling yourself and your world with bliss.

 

if you are going to use the chai for a gathering or know it will be enjoyed quickly, you can always add equal amounts of milk to the mix and store or serve.

 

one more thing. if you like ginger (its so good for you!), i like to put some peices of it into the jar to marinate.
