Blissful Bedtimes with Homemade Yogi Tea

32334_10151173574987745_1666172592_n

So, yesterday I went bulk herb shopping at my favorite Natural Foods Grocer, The New Manna Grocery in Tuscaloosa. Thanks to my new found journey to becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher, I was introduced to the authentic homemade recipe of the original Yogi Tea by the Yogi Master Guru Yogi Bhajan!

The tea is so rich and soothing it’s perfect to drink everyday, all day, and especially at bedtime, as I found myself to be quite restless this evening with a lot of heavy things on my mind and found the tea to be rather relaxing for my current mood. There is so much more to this tea, the benefits are endless. Yogi tea purifies the blood, lungs and circulatory system. It cleans the liver and has many more unseen benefits.  Here is the batch I made from scratch all by myself minus the added caramel as the box states above, this is the ORIGINAL Yogi tea, thanks to my awesome yoga teacher journey and my awesome teacher, Akasha Ellis for sharing this secret with us:
