Recipe: Green Ginger Intention Tonic
Ingredients
- 8 Cups Water
- 1 Tbsp grated ginger
- ¼ cup of fresh mint, basil, lemongrass or tulsi
- 1-2 pinches of salt to taste (optional)
- Freshly squeezed lime to taste (optional)
- 2-3 tsp raw honey to taste (optional)
Directions
- Heat water in saucepan or pot until boiling.
- Start thinking about what this tonic will be for, and begin short ritual or favorite practice.
- Add ginger and your choice of green herb.
- Turn heat down to simmer (the ginger should be moving around).
- Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes (you should have about 5 cups remaining after).
- While simmering, continue ritual or practice or start another one – meditating, exercising, going for a walk, doing breathwork, journaling, drawing, dancing – anything you enjoy.
- Cut heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes, depending on how hot you like your tonic.
- While cooling, continue your ritual or start a different shorter one.
- After you’re done with the ritual, add the salt, juice, and/or the honey.
- Stir 10 times counterclockwise, then 10 times clockwise.
- Put your hands over the container, and look at the water, noticing your reflection.
- Think or say whatever you want to infuse the tonic with and subsequently ingest – there’s no right or wrong intention as it’s personalized to you.
- While looking at your reflection in the water, think or say the words “Thank you, I love you.”
- Strain and enjoy the energy of what you put into this!
