Spiced Milk and Honey Tonic

The secret to restoring healthy breathing is found in this spiced tea. Milk and honey are demulcents that coat dry, irritated respiratory passages. These coating properties also help you expectorate mucus lodged in the lungs. Spices in this tea liquefy mucous, so it flows freely, flushing out pathogens along the way. Finally, the warmth encourages sinuses to dilate, so you can breath easy. For added respiratory support, add 1 teaspoon of ghee to your hot milk.

Ingredients:

• 1 leaves Bay Leaf
• 3/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 3/4 tsp Cardamom
• 1 pinch Cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp Ginger (Dried)
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 pinch Star Anise

Preparation:

Bring milk to medium heat and, lower heat to a gentle simmer and add all spices. Cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently. If the milk becomes foamy, lower heat quickly or remove completely. Milk easily boils over the side of the pan when it gets too hot. It should look shiny on the surface with tiny bubbles. Remove from heat and add honey to taste.
