Hi, friends! I'm Wren. I'm a crafter and tea enthusiast. That's mostly what you will find on this channel: a lot of tea and some sewing things. Maybe crochet. Maybe painting. A couple adventures out in the world. I don't really have a plan, but I do know a lot about tea and I want to share that with you. I try to post every Sunday, but life, family, and work means I may not always.
My yogi tea recipe: Bring two quarts of water to a roiling boil. Add: 15 whole cloves 20 black peppercorns 3 cinnamon sticks 20 whole green cardamom pods that have been split (by gently crushing with the flat of a knife) 3-4 inch piece of fresh ginger sliced (or a tsp or two of dried ginger pieces) 4 anise stars Let the spices mingle for 3-5 minutes before adding 1 tsp CTC Assam black tea (or one tea bag) Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and strain to remove spices and tea. To serve: Pour your fresh yogi tea into a mug with an ample amount of sugar (a heaping teaspoon or more) to get the fullest flavor from the spices. You may use white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, honey, maple sugar, or jaggery to sweeten your tea. Add whole milk or nut milk of your choice to taste. Refrigerate any leftovers. Enjoy!
