Ingredients:<br />

CHAI<br />

<strong>Eumundi</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> <strong>Man</strong> style!<br />

Vanilla bean (optional), 5 fresh Cloves, 8 Cardamom<br />

pods, 2 Cinnamon sticks, ¼ whole Nutmeg, 8 Black<br />

Peppercorns, organic Black Tea (optional), Fresh ginger,<br />

4 glasses of organic un-homogenised milk.<br />

Slice a vanilla bean, cut and crush in the mortar and<br />

pestle. Simmer in 1½ cups of pure water for 10 minutes.<br />

Crush the spices in a mortar and pestle.<br />

Drinks & Desert<br />

Turn OFF the vanilla water or plain water and add the fresh spices. Add one level<br />

teaspoon of organic black tea if you like. Add a small amount of freshly grated ginger<br />

root. Brew for approximately 10 minutes or even leave it overnight. Add the organic<br />

un-homogenised milk, or pure farm milk. Bring to a drinking temperature. DO NOT<br />

BOIL<br />

<strong>The</strong> concept<br />

By not boiling the spices the original essential oils with fine flavours are not destroyed<br />

and the milk remains light and easy to digest, with intact natural enzymes. <strong>The</strong> water<br />

also makes the milk light. <strong>The</strong> spices prevent mucus formation and help digest the<br />

milk for the benefit of nutrition, remember MILK is a perfect food! Chai is great<br />

taken with herbal jam (Chyavana pras) or tonifying medicines (Asvagandha -strength<br />

of horse). Never mix with or drink chai near a large or salty meal. Best on an empty<br />

stomach!<br />
