Green Tea Blend + CCF tea

Based on The Hot Belly Diet

This is a simple detox tea recipe for the spring Kapha season. 

This tea blends the medicinal seeds of Coriander, Cumin and Fennel (CCF) with Ginger and Green Tea to create a powerful blend to remove toxins, while keeping the body balanced through the season.

The recipe can be customized according to body-mind type as well. 

  • Kapha: Can use this recipe everyday.
  • Pitta: They can increase the amount of fennel seeds and use lime juice, instead of lemon in this recipe to soothe their digestive system (use 2 teaspoons instead of 1 teaspoon)
  • Vata: Can use all the other ingredients, and substitute to caffeine-free green tea version because of their delicate nervous system.

Some simple concepts to keep in mind:

  • Drink this tea warm only
  • Make a fresh batch every day (do not store for next day).
  • Use this tea until late afternoon if you are using a caffeinated Green tea version, and then switch to drinking plain warm water (with a bit of lime/lemon)

Ingredients

  • 1 quart water (almost one litre)
  • 1 teaspoon of whole fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of whole coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of whole cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon of grated ginger
  • One tea bag of green tea (caffeinated or non-caffeinated)
  • Squeeze drops of Lime/Lemon after tea is made

⭐ Method to make:

  • Boil the ginger, green-tea and the seeds in a pot, for at least 10 minutes (lid covered)
  • Strain into a thermos and squirt in some juice of lemon or lime after the tea is strained.
  • Opt for green tea with no-additives or preservatives.
