Healing Chai Tea -

Ingredients

• Fresh ginger (a few slices)
• cardamon pods (just a couple)
• coriander seed (maybe a teaspoon)
• cloves (about 4)
• fennel seed (maybe a teaspoon)
• star anise (1 star)
• liquorice root (a pinch – CAUTION, don’t use this if you are on cortisone steroids eg prednisolone, as it will make the drug stronger. Liquorice is specifically noted on the information/warning label)
• rooibos loose-leaf tea (about a tablespoon or empty one tea bag – this makes it naturally caffeine-free, if you are looking for the caffeine kick, you can use black tea)
• about 500ml cold filtered water
