that will give you the same satisfaction of drinking tea

but without any side effects

Come, let’s get started!

All the tea recipes shared in this video can serve up to 2 people

First, we’ll prepare a no chai masala chai made only with Indian herbs

You can find all the ingredients you need to make it in your own kitchen

First, we’ll boil 1.5 cup of water in a pot

Keep the gas on a medium flame

We don’t have to boil the water for too long

In the time it takes for the water to boil, let’s grind our spices

We need 4 green cardamom, 1/2 inch piece of cinnamon, 2 cloves

2 black peppercorns, 1 star anise

If you don’t have star anise, you can use 1/2 tsp fennel seeds too

  2.  First we’ll grind all the spices using a mortar and pestle like this

Make sure you grind all the spices properly

so that the flavours in your tea can come out properly

When the water starts boiling, then along with the grounded spices,

we’ll add 1 tsp grated ginger too

then cover the lid and allow the tea to boil

Stop the gas for 2 mins

Don’t boil the tea for too long. Otherwise, it may turn out bitter

Ah! There’s a magic in the aroma of this tea itself

But the most fun and special part is still remaining

Now we’ll add 1/2 cup coconut milk to it

3.  But always remember to add coconut milk only after you’ve switched off the gas

How do you make coconut milk? We have made a whole video about it

You can watch it on our YouTube channel. It’s very simple

We have shared the link in the description box below

If you don’t have coconut milk, you can use almond milk instead

After adding milk, cover the pot for 5 mins

so that all the flavours of the spices blend well together

You don’t need to add coconut or almond milk to make this chai

Even without milk, this chai tastes great

If you’re not adding milk, then add more water to it in the beginning

Instead of 1/2 cup, add 2 cups water

 4.  Now just sieve it using a strainer and add jaggery to sweeten it as per your taste

When we have guests at home who ask us for chai,

we offer them this tea

And when we tell them it has no tea leaves, they always ask us for the recipe

They can’t believe it that without tea leaves, without milk, and without sugar,

we can make such a delicious tea

Do try it once for sure!

Here’s a no-chai masala chai for you

Oh wow!

A no-chai masala chai for you

No-chai masala chai?

Do you know it has no tea leaves in it?

No tea leaves? Uh I don’t think it will taste good

I don’t think it’s possible that it will have any good flavour

Huh? How can you have tea like this?

 5. Are there really no tea leaves in this?

Oh wow! It’s so good!

I can’t believe it! I can drink it every day!

I never imagined that you could make tea like this without any tea leaves

Now let’s move onto our next herbal tea

and that is lemongrass tea

I know the moment you hear lemongrass

you’ll think – “Oh! But where will we get it from? It’s not even available in India”

 6. Where will I go to find it?

Actually, lemongrass can easily be grown in India

You can ask your gardener to get it for you or buy it from any nursery

or you can grow it in your kitchen, balcony, wherever you want

One plant only costs Rs. 50-100 and grows throughout the year

 7. So come, first we’ll add 2 cups water to a pot and boil it

then we’ll take our lemongrass

To make tea, you don’t need the leaves, but the stem of the lemongrass

the base at the bottom

Take 2-3 inches of the stem and cut it like this

Now add it to boiling water and allow it to boil for 1 min on a low flame

In the time it takes for the lemongrass to boil,

we’ll grind our other spices too

Place a 2 inch cinnamon piece in a mortar and pestle, 6 green cardamom seeds

and a 1/2 inch piece of ginger

  8. Grind them properly and add them to the water

Cover the lid and allow the water to boil for 3 mins

Whenever I make this tea, the whole kitchen is filled with lemongrass fragrance

Now just strain it and pour it in a cup

And add jaggery powder as per your taste

Don’t add too much jaggery. Otherwise, you won’t taste the flavour of lemongrass

For Satvic recipes, we use jaggery for sweetness

 9. We never use sugar

I love the flavour of lemongrass in this tea

But you can use holy basil, curry leaves, mint leaves, or even rose leaves instead

Keep in mind that if you’re using curry leaves, don’t boil the water too much

Otherwise, it’ll become bitter

Many people in my family have switched their regular tea with lemongrass tea

And in just a few days, their tea addiction went away easily

Oh! Our last and final herbal tea recipe is still left

Apple-cinnamon tea

You may be thinking – what kind of combination is this?

But just try it once!

To prepare it, take 2 medium sized red apples

Cut them into small pieces like this

Crush the cut apple pieces like this

Don’t crush them so much that they turn into juice. Just lightly crush them

Now take 2 cups water in a pot

Add the crushed apples, 2 cinnamon pieces, and 4 cloves to it

and place the pot on a medium flame

We have to boil them on a medium flame like this for 10 mins

so that all the flavours – the light sourness of the apples, sweetness of cinnamon,

and the pungent flavour of cloves can blend together well

After 10 mins, pour it in a cup through a strainer

Add jaggery powder as per your taste

and now our apple-cinnamon tea is ready

I know thinking of quitting tea sounds impossible to even imagine for you

but trust me, for 3 days, JUST 3 days

replace your usual tea with one of these herbal teas

Whenever you get a tea craving, prepare this herbal tea

When you go to office, pack it in a thermos

The next time your friends and family come over,

make them taste it too

and take them towards a healthy lifestyle too
