Autumn Tea

Autumn Tea combines brown rice tea with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric, and a generous quantity of water.

All of the ingredients are brought to a boil together, then simmered for five to ten minutes. The source suggests adjusting that simmer according to the strength desired.

The tea is strained before serving. Japanese brown rice teas such as Genmai Cha or Yama Moto Yama are specifically recommended in the source note.
