2-4 whole green cardamom pods, crushed

cordyceps

Sweetener, to taste (preferably honey, maple syrup or birch xylitol)

In a small saucepan, combine water, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Bring the mixture to boil then lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture becomes aromatic.

Add the tea leaves and milk.  Simmer for another minute then turn off the heat and let steep for 2 minutes. Pour into a cup through a fine mesh sieve. Discard the leaves and spices. Add sweetener, to taste.

Cordyceps is an excellent herb for supporting the lungs and kidney systems before winter begins.  These two physical components support appropriate body warmth, and circulation of water metabolism throughout the body which prevents weight gain and endemic related bloating. Because of these reasons and its immune boosting qualities, Cordyceps is the ideal herb to include in the fall season!
