CCF Ayurvedic Spice Mix & Tea
Description
I learned about this magical spice mix from my first ayurvedic teacher Divya Altar. It is a well-known spice blend in Ayurveda known to aid digestion, it is also loved for its ability to balance every body type (Kapha pitta and Vata). It increases digestion and absorption of the nutrients from the meals we eat. So if you are to have any spice blend in your life, this is the one! It can also be used in hot water as a tea and supports the body’s natural detoxification process! One thing i will add is that spices begin to loose flavor and quality the moment they are ground, so if you’re making this mix using whole seeds will be far more fragrant and nutritionally beneficial.

When using whole seeds, as the spices in the masala are already toasted the powder can be added near the end of cooking or sprinkled on top of food.
If using powdered spices they are usually raw so the mix should be sauteed in oil or butter.
