Why we love this recipe
Drinking Ayurvedic water with Pitta-balancing herbs and spices has many benefits. Sweet spices like Indian sarsaparilla and fennel aid digestion without overheating the body, and cumin and coriander are an effective duo for encouraging detox for Pitta dosha.
By adding individual spices and herbs, you can customize a ‘tea’ for yourself that will be the most balancing for your body and mind. Make a large batch and sip it throughout the day for smart hydration—stopping by 5-6 p.m. to avoid late night trips to the bathroom!
