Chanca Piedra updated tea

Ingredients
Real Raw Wildcrafted Changa Pietra tea cut
1/4-1/2 tsp Organic ginger root powder
1/4 tsp Betaine
1 tsp Coconut sugar
2 Cardamom pods
dash of cinnamon
dash of clove powder
1/2 mug Filtered water
1/2 mug of Almond milk
2 tall mugs
strainer
pan to heat tea


Recipe
Fill mug 1/3 full with water. 

Heat the water until boiling. 
Add the water back into the cup with added 1 tsp of Chanca Piedra, 1/4 tsp of ginger, dash of clove powder, dash of nutmeg, and 2 Cardamom pods.  
Stir and let steep for 2-15 minutes...depending on how strong you want it. 
Then fill up the rest of the mug with almond milk.  
Stir, then strain out the tea from one mug into the other.  I strain it twice.   
Add 1 tsp of coconut sugar. 
Add 1/4 tsp of Betaine and stir.  
Reheat to desired heat, add dash of cinnamon. 
And serve immediately...Enjoy!


All ingredients
 Betaine...not shown above...I don't always add it
Heat half a mug of water
Add 1 tsp of Chanca Piedra
Add clove...I usually loosen the lid and give it an upwards shake...that gives me just enough
a teeny bit of nutmeg...don't over do it, it's potent and too much is dangerous for your health
Add about 1/2 tsp of ginger powder...it gives it a great kick, and great for your health
I usually use 2 Cardamum pods, I crush them with the lid to expose as much flavor from them as possible during the short time they're in my drink
Add the boiling water, and let steep for 2-15 minutes...I usually let it sit for just a couple minutes
Strain into another mug
Strain it once more, a lot more of the fine particles get through the first strain
 Add Almond milk to fill the mug along with Sweetener...I used 1 tsp of coconut palm sugar
1/4 tsp of Betaine for extra sweetness and nutrition (derived from beets)
Add the tea to a pot and heat on stove
Add a dash of cinnamon
Enjoy hot!
