Digestive Chai

12-15 green cardamom pods
5 1/2 cups (1.4 L) water
1 1/2 tsp (7 mL) fennel seeds
2 Tbsp (30 mL) sugar
5 teabags
3/4 cup (180 mL) milk

Place a small bowl and tea strainer beside the stove. With a knife or your hands, peel the green cardamom skins halfway so you can see the seeds inside. In a kettle or a large pot, combine water, cardamom pods, fennel, and sugar; stir once, then bring to a boil on medium-high heat. As soon as the water starts to boil vigorously, add teabags. Stir once and boil for 1 minute, or 1 1/2 minutes for slightly stronger tea. Using a spoon, remove teabags and place them in the bowl. Discard these later.

Reduce the heat to medium and add milk. Heat for 30 to 45 seconds, then turn off heat. Place the tea strainer over each cup individually and fill. You should have enough to fill 6 cups.

Fruit Lax Recipe

2 oz (56 g) senna leaves (health food store)
8 oz (224g) pitted prunes (works out to be about a cup)
8 oz (224g) figs (ensure a moist brand, works out to be about a cup)
2 cups of pitted dates
2 cups of dark raisins
8 cups of boiling water
2 cups of brown sugar

Pour the boiling over the senna leaves. Let steep 10-15 minutes, then strain the leaves out. Longer is not better. Do make sure that the leaves have lots of room ie use a big pot.
Put all the ingredients and the senna liquid into a large non-stick pan and cook for about 30 minutes (until soft and liquid is absorbed). Stir often.
Process with blender in small amounts.
Keep in refrigerator. I keep our a pint jar and freeze the rest. No problems after six months of doing this.
Start with one tablespoon each morning and build up from there.
