In Fall and Winter this mixture gets carried around in my purse in a spice bottle for breakfast when travelling or on the run. It builds Agni (digestive fire) and improves digestion. It complements oatmeal or any hot cereal as well as fresh fruit.
- 1 TBSP ground cinnamon
- 1TBSP ground cardamom
- 1TBSP ground allspice
- 1TBSP ground ginger*
- ½ tsp ground cloves
These can be mixed in whole dried form and ground together in a spice grinder or mixed together in a bowl – freshly ground is the most potent and flavorful. Using a funnel, pour into a spice bottle with a shaker top.
*Ayurvedic adjustments
Pitta (people with reddish complexion or problems with gastric reflux) – If coffee with milk is enjoyed with breakfast, make sure to use about half of the ginger. For black coffee drinkers, omitting ginger is okay especially if reflux is acting up.
