Variations by Dosha:
-
Vata:
Individuals with a Vata dosha may benefit from adding cinnamon sticks to enhance digestive aid. This addition can further support their overall digestion and well-being.
-
Pitta:
Those with a Pitta dosha can enrich the cooling properties of the drink by incorporating an extra amount of fennel and mint. It's recommended to enjoy this beverage at room temperature or slightly chilled to avoid heating the body, which can aggravate Pitta dosha.
-
Kapha:
Individuals with a Kapha dosha can elevate the taste with the addition of ginger or lemon zest, providing a more uplifting flavor profile. This addition can help invigorate the senses and balance Kapha dosha.
Tip:
Depending on your preference, you can choose to strain off the spices for a lighter flavor or leave them in while sipping throughout the day for a stronger taste and added benefits. Adjust the recipe according to your dosha and personal taste preferences to fully enjoy the therapeutic effects of this Ayurvedic drink.
