YOGI TEA

Steps:

• Bring water to a fast boil in a stainless steel pot.

• Turn heat down so it is just simmering, cover, and let lightly boil for 45-60 minutes.
• Finally, add black tea bag and boil another 5 minute.
• If adding milk & honey, do so after adding the tea bag and letting it steep- (** OR BETTER yet add milk and honey to individual cups or a small batch. That way you can store the raw tea in the fridge and prepare with milk and honey as you go).
• After adding milk and or honey, bring to a boil one last time.
• Remove from heat, and let sit for another hour (or overnight). This way it gets nice and strong so you can best enjoy this potent spice blend!
• Strain and refrigerate.
• Enjoy!
