| RECIPE |
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp loose leaf black tea
- 2 cardamom pods (1/3 tsp ground)
- 1/8 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2 whole cloves (1/2 tsp ground)
- 1/2 cinnamon stick (1 tsp ground)
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger, or to be really authentic, 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 cup low fat or whole milk (not fat free)
- Sugar to taste - 2 teaspoons suit me just fine!
Equipment:
- Measuring devices
- Mortar and pestle
- Medium Saucepan
- Mesh Strainer
- A wooden spoon
- A tea cup or mug
- (And a stove, of course :P)
Directions:
- Turn the stove on to a medium to medium high heat, and add water and loose leaf tea to the saucepan.
- As the tea heats and begins to steep, prepare the fennel seeds and cardamom pods by grinding them with a mortar and pestle. (If you’re already using pre-ground ingredients, this step is not necessary)
- Add the fennel seeds and cardamom pods to the saucepan, as well as the remainder of the spices, then stir just enough to blend everything together.
- Once the mixture is brought to a light boil, add milk. As the mixture is brought to a boil once again, keep a close eye as the milk may boil quickly and spill over.
- Add the sugar.
- Turn off the heat and remove the saucepan from the stove.
- Place the strainer on top of the mug to strain the tea. Done!

ASMR can help provide relief from insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety, and I really hope that I can help others to find more peace in their day. However, I'm not a professional, and because of that, I want to at least point you in the right direction if you’re looking for long term help for your anxiety and depression:
