hi Mindy! I go to yoga classes and they serve yogi tea after each class. I really like it and bought some of it preprepared in bulk from the studio and enjoy making and drinking it. I am including a link off of their website which has instructions and ingredients for making yogi tea. It also lists some of the benefits of the ingredients of this variant of yogi tea.

hope this helps, btw if anyone tries this I personally reccomend using milk or soy milk, it is VERY spicy without it, unless ya like it spicy.

thanks so much for the info!! when you say very spicy...do you mean & not to be funny..like hot sauce or like a tea bag in very little water??? thanks for letting me know. :::mindy:::

I used to study Kundalini with a follower of Yogi Bhajan, and he gave me a cup of the stuff after each session. Right about then, I became a vegetarian, which lasted almost a decade. I found that the herbal infusion not only tasted great, but also satisfied a craving for meat and sweets (which I'd also given up completely). This was some tiem ago, before there were multiple flavors and bags. The loose mix was kind of pricey, so I got the recipe - not a secret, but this was pre-web. (Incidentally, camellia sinensis was a minor and optional ingredient.) What I made was nowhere near as good as theirs, however. So one long afternoon, while making an extended phone call, I actually picked apart about an ounce of the stuff into separate grains of each ingredient. I then matched that mix, and it was almost as good as the "official" blend - they probably used a different cinnamon bark, or something. One of my few attempts at gastronomic reverse engineering!

Anyway, I still drink occasionally, and consider it to occupy a very different place in my life from green, black and oolong teas.

I would venture closer to hot sauce. It almost, if not, burns the mouth and throat. Or so it affects me without something to soften it a bit. (sodi

I was wondering about that myself, one reason I bought it since it was available, if I could match the flavour or not. Thanks for the info, I will, if i get brave enough, try matching the amounts of ingrdients on my own. thanks for the tip. (peace soda

I am just curious -- I am dating myself here -- is yogi tea equivalent or similar to what we often called Mu Tea in the 1960s and 1970s? Mu was a distinctly spicy blend of roots, herbs, etc. that often had a "burning" component to it, especially if brewed too strong. Anyone remember?
