  2. Prepare the herbs: Add the dried dandelion greens, crushed cardamom pods, and ginger to the hot water.
  3. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse and the herbal properties to release.
  4. Strain: Strain the herbs and spices from the tea, then pour into a cup.
  5. Optional: add honey for a touch of sweetness or a squeeze of lemon for extra detox benefits.

Notes

  • Dandelion greens:

    • Bitter and astringent: Stimulates digestion, clears ama (toxins), and supports detox, making them perfect for Kapha and Pitta doshas.

    • Promotes liver health, supports the kidneys, and encourages mild diuresis to clear excess fluid from the body, especially helpful for Kapha season.

  • Cardamom:

    • Aids in digestion and has a calming effect on the stomach and intestines, ideal for Pitta when used moderately.

  • Ginger:

    • Heating and stimulating: Improves digestion, reduces mucus and sluggishness, and balances Kapha. It also supports Vata but can increase Pitta so use in moderation.
