Fall Time Chai

Fall is here!

As the weather changes, our bodies change, the intake of our foods change, our moods change – we are forever changing!

Chai, known as tea in India, is a great way to strengthen the immune system and fight against colds, coughs and allergies especially with certain spices.

Here’s a great chai recipe -

- water

- 2 cloves

- 1 cinnamon stick

- a bit of grated ginger

- pinch of nutmeg

- grinded cardamom

- organic sugar

- some milk

It’s best when the milk is cooked along with the spices and tea.  This will allow the milk to be more digestible.

Give it a try!
