This Anti-Inflammatory Chai Tea is a perfect addition to an anti-inflammatory diet. Ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and black peppercorns complement each other perfectly to aid digestion and reduce inflammation in the joints.

Ingredients

• 3 Cardamom pods, gently crushed
• 2 Whole black peppercorns
• 2 Whole cloves (I have used ground cloves in a pinch)
• 1 Inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced
• 1 Cinnamon stick
• 1 Small vanilla bean, or 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• A pinch of nutmeg, less than 1/8 tsp.
• 2 Cups water
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 Black tea bag
• 1/2 Cup Soy Milk (You can also use dairy, almond, or coconut)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan bring all ingredients together except the milk, the tea bag, and the maple syrup with 2 cups water.
2. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 5-10 minutes depending on how strong you like it. The water will reduce as you simmer as well and become more concentrated.
3. Add tea bag and let steep for 5 minutes.
4. Pour through a strainer into desired cup.
5. Add 1/2 cup milk.
6. Enjoy!
