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. Adjust the simmer to the strength desired.

The tea is strained before serving. Japanese brown rice tea (genmaicha) works well here.

Ingredients

• 2 brown rice tea bags
• 2–3 cardamom pods, slit at the end
• 2–3 cloves
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 8–10 cups water

Method

Combine all ingredients in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes, depending on the strength desired. Strain before serving. Makes 8–10 servings.
