I was intrigued by Vata tea for two reasons. I had never heard of it and PJ’s post said that when people with Vata personalities are out of balance they can be forgetful, spaced out, anxious and uptight. Now I like to think I am not the latter two but I definitely am forgetful and I sometimes space out. The recipe for the tea is supposed to be very calming and soothing.
1 cup water
1/4 tsp fresh ginger grated
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp carom/ Ajwain seeds
1 tsp sugar (my addition)
Method:
Boil water and put in all the ingredients. Remove from the heat and seep for five minutes. Strain and drink up.
The tea tastes more like cinnamon water with subtle hint of carom seeds. The sugar adds a sweetness to the tea that goes well with cinnamon.
So did the tea really help you? Let me know if it helped, then even I will try out.

ReplyDeleteOh Jaya...I do believe I could have a cup of this RIGHT NOW! Well, I can't really as I am on a coffee break at work and coffee is indeed what I am sipping. But yummmmmmmm! This would be a lot more refreshing for me and better for me too!
ReplyDeleteI am not usually a fan of teas other than black or green, but this one definitely sounds refreshing. I do like that it has ginger and cardamom--two of my favorite flavors.
ReplyDeleteDitto Vaishali.... I am not fond of any teas other than black or green. But this sounds very interesting. I am wondering how the combination of cinnamom, cardamom, ajwain will taste.
