Essential Rasa Tea

Ingredients

1 quart water
1 Tbsp fenugreek seeds
1 Tbsp fennel seeds
1 Tbsp dried peppermint or marshmallow root (I like a combo of both)
1 tsp of licorice, chopped or powdered
1 thin sliced fresh ginger root
1 tsp – 1 Tbsp flax seeds per cup

Directions

  1. Boil water in a medium stainless steel pot. Put all the herbs in a one-quart heat-proof glass mason jar. Pour the water over the herbs and steep for 30 minutes or more.
  2. Before serving, strain the tea. Place flax seeds in your cup before pouring the tea into it. This supports Omega 3-rich, immune boosting, mood-soothing. You can eat the soaked seeds with a spoon when you get to the bottom of your drink.
  3. Drink 1-2 cups per day, the larger amount if you are in dry conditions.
