Akananda Ma's Rehydration Tea, by Diane

 

I did a 3-day ayurvedic cleanse over the weekend based off a quiz I took that was shockingly accurate on current problems like low energy, and it was a gentle way to fix them. This was recipe was really easy to make and kinda like natural gatorade. I can imagine in hotter weather this is going to be amazing! It contains ground kola nut, which is a super health source and does a zillion great things in the body. It's got salt and lime for electrolytes as well. It also uses turbinado sugar which is raw brown sugar, so it's a really clean way to hydrate.


Ingredients:

4.5 cups water

2 heaping tbsp fresh mint

1 heaping tsp brahmi (gotu kola)

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp lime, juice squeezed

2 tsp turbinado sugar


Directions:

1. Boil water. Add in mint, kola, salt, and lime. Steep for 10 min.

2. Strain (I didn't because I like the mint), mix in sugar and serve warm for all weather or chilled for hot weather.
