Coconut-Peppermint Tea

Do you need something wonderful and cozy on this dreary Kapha day?

When the weather turns damp and dreary, it aggravates the Kapha or Earth in our bodies. You may feel lethargic, bored and sleepy. Joints begin to ache and colds turn from dry to wet. Heat up your body with the yummy warm drink and put a little zing into it with the peppermint to get you moving.

  • 3 cups coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon dried coconut
  • 3 drops essential oil of peppermint

Bring the milk to a boil. In a small skillet, dry roast coconut for a few minutes until it begins to turn slightly brown. Add to the boiling liquid, along with the essential oils. Cover and remove from heat. Let infusion sit for 5 - 15 minutes before serving. Serve strained or unstrained.
