Panacea

"Cure-all."

I don't know about that, per se, but Vedic Chai is indeed a great remedy for may ailments.  These include flu, plague, cancer, bronchial infections, fatigue, and much more.  Here's a wonderful recipe to get it done (God willing).

{{ all organic ingredients, only }}

1       tsp Rooibos [this is not original recipe, but it is better to use than black tea in many cases]
1/2    tsp Ginger cut-and-sifted
5       cloves
1/4    tsp black peppercorns
1/8    tsp cardamom powder
1/4    tsp nutmeg
1/2    tsp fennel

Grind to a pulpy powder with a mortar and pestle.  Pour hot water (just below boiling - bring to a boil and then remove for 15 seconds) over these ingredients in a tea strainer and let it steep for 10-15 minutes.  There is no tannic acid in Rooibos, so no worries about that.  The longer steeped, the more medicinal.

To your health!


and, by the by, check with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on these ingredients.
