]]> Comment on Chai Tea with Tonic Chinese Herbs by Sri Lalita http://www.srilalita.com/2011/12/06/winter-tonic-chai-tea/#comment-284 Sri Lalita Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:00:22 +0000 http://www.srilalita.com/?p=1243#comment-284 Thanks for your feedback. I quite agree that Codonopsis is more than just a cheaper ginseng. Perhaps I overstated my point in the post, but I was just trying to say that some of the benefits of ginseng could be had for a far cheaper price. Moreover, strong tonics such as ginseng can be inappropriately used, especially--as you mentioned--given its heat. Thanks for your feedback.

I really feel Chai is a great carrier as it helps digest and therefore utilize more efficiently the medicinals, thats is why we created a few years ago our line of Medicinal Chais (http://www.yogicchai.com/catalog/yogicchai/medicinal-masala-chai-c-90.html?infoBox=6) I do disagree with the author about calling Codonopsis a cheaper, less potent Ginseng...Codonopsis is used instead of Gingeng in Chinese Medicine for patients who are sensitive to Heat as Codonopsis is a bit cooler, not because its cheaper. It is as great of a tonic as Ginseng and in some cases must be used instead of Ginseng. Its nice to see someone else promoting the use of medicinal herbs with Chai.

Yes, Just throw some extra flour on there and hang it up on a wooden drying rack. You can buy a fancy rack from a culinary store, but I rather like my pal's solution. She drilled holes in the side of her wooden counter and sticks chopsticks into them to hang her pasta! Oops. Yes, Just throw some extra flour on there and hang it up on a wooden drying rack.

You can also saute and freeze them for later use. You can dry the tops and use them for tea or rehydrate them for use in recipes. You can also saute and freeze them for later use.
