Get some green cardamom pods and rose petals (Indian markets often stock comically large packages of these for cheap). Break the pods open a bit and simmer in milk of your choice (or water if you just want a tea) for like half an hour maybe? That seems right. Or more. Add some cocoa powder if you like. Strain and enjoy.
With a little milk & honey. You could even get a rooibos with spices if you are feeling like a masala chai without the caffeine! Also old standard peppymint
go to your local farmers market or wherever you can get loose leaf tea and get black tea, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, star anise, black pepper, cloves, bishops weed (or fennel bc itβs more common) and some ginger and throw into a pot with some water and add your milk of choice to taste. strain then serve it with some biscuits or leave it in the fridge for on the go iced chai.
itβs like the best hug you can give to yourself
even if its delusional, I really do love the idea of trusting that all of the perceived hardships, anxieties, and lessons ultimately lead to a path that's catered to our individual needs for growth and learning. maybe I am detaching from reality in an effort to cope, but I truly am starting to believe that miracles (big and small) happen daily and that we will all be ok in the end. attention and intention are everything.
