Easy on digestion and increased hydration. You can eat them plain, on sourdough, in oatmeal, in congee, on top of cottage cheese. You can eat them in bed, on the couch, in the bath, during a yoni soak. you can eat them nursing, reading a book, or watching TV, you can eat them just about anywhere.
(Do you know the book this vibe is from?)
Cook time: 30 minutes
Prep time: 5 minutes
2.5 - 3 cups water
6-8 dried prunes (pitted)
6-8 dried apricots
handful of raisins
2-3 inch ginger ( peeled and thinly sliced)
in a nut bag, cheesecloth, tea bag or a large stainless steel tea ball (you can also use ground spices if you don't have the whole)
3-4 cloves
10-15 cardamom pods (crushed)
1 cinnamon stick
Put the filtered water and fruits in a small saucepan.
Crush the cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle until they are cracked open and the black seeds are released and slightly crushed.
Put all the spices into a nut bag, cheesecloth, tea bag or a large stainless steel tea ball. Add the bag of spices to the water.
Bring the dried fruits, water and spices to a boil, then turn the heat to low, cover and simmer on very low heat for about 30-40 mins. Turn off heat and let the fruit sit in the pot for as long as possible to absorb the spiced water. The longer you let them steep, the stronger and sweeter the syrup will be. 1 hour minimum.
Add more water if it dries up. Let cook in water until a syrup forms again.
Take the spice bag out of the pot.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days or 2 months in the freezer.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
