I like that idea! I enjoy chai tea, but it's usually (or always?) made with black tea which I seem to react negatively to. What other spices are you thinking?
I've had issues with certain types of ghee not tasting good in hot chocolate, but this brand actually makes it taste like caramel a little.
Maybe nutmeg, cloves and evn star anise? You can experiment. I had a gorgeous 'wet' hot chocolate which was cacao, rice syrup, cardoman, chilli and tangerine which tasted like Christmas in a cup and helped me kick a coffee habit! I will experiment with a recipe and let.you know!
How exciting, thank you!
No worries!
Also, we used to store sugar with cardoman pods. I dont eat sugar anymore though. However I do like the idea of a spiced sweet syrup.
Ghee is incredible in moong soup. I think I will make some when I get home... its the perfect food for winter. Ayurveda says you should 'fast' on moong soup once a week.
There was Ayurverdic practitioner who visited the Zen Center while I was there, be and she made moong soup. I usually don't eat beans or lentils due to high lectins, but it was so good I had a ton anyway! She made her own ghee to put in it.
Yeah husband follows FODMAP so alot of pulses are out for him but moong is fine. It seems to be really therapeutic and you can fast on it. The ghee really makes it!!! Sadly husband cant have onions or garlic either so I make mine with asoefoetida which is more ayurvedic anyway. Sooo good... I have cravings now!!!
