Man Who’s Beard…
“Man who’s beard reaches his navel can never be insulted.”
- The Siri Singh Sahib

This gentleman was kind enough to let me take his photograph.
May you be inspired to grow beyond his beard!
Blessings.

Yogi Tea
Back in the early 1980′s, I worked at the Golden Temple Restaurant. These were vegetarian restaurants sponsored by Yogi Bhajan.
My first job in the morning was to make eight gallons of fresh Yogi Tea. My husband had taken Yogi Bhajan’s Ayurvedic recipe and counted out the spices for the larger batches. Over the years I’ve adjusted the spices for different size pots. We like our chai spicy, so we use extra peppercorns and ginger.
Place one gallon of water on the stove to boil. Add 2 cloves and 1 teaspoon peppercorns. Let the water come to a boil. Meanwhile, grate 5 ounces of fresh ginger. Crumble two 3-inch sticks of soft Mexican cinnamon. Crush and open 1 teaspoon of cardamom pods. Add this mixture to the pan once the water begins to boil.
Turn the pot down and simmer for one hour. After an hour, we shut off the heat and add one tablespoon of fine quality black tea and one teaspoon of jasmine flowers. Cover and let steep for four minutes.
Strain the mixture to remove the spices and tea. You now have nearly a gallon of the best chai tea! Add milk or soy milk and sweeten if desired.
Enjoy a tea that cleanses and energizes the body!

Many have asked where to get the Yogi Tea spices!
Well, here.
