So now here is a great tea to start sipping to improve circulation and help with the morning mucus that starts to accumulate in the end of winter, beginning of spring.
Cardamon, Ginger, Fennel Tea
I make a batch just as I do with the CCF tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel)
Mix equal amounts of cardamon seeds and fennel seeds and slice up strips of fresh ginger (recommend appx. a 1/4 inch strip for each 1/4 teaspoon of your mixture of cardamon and fennel). Place all ingredients in a coffee grinder (that is only used for spices not for coffee) or use a pestle and mortar.
Place a 1/2 teaspoon to 3/4 teaspoon (depends on taste) and steep in a cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Enjoy! Wonderful way to start your morning after your cup or two of hot water of course. Maybe sip as you go through your morning rituals.
