Masala Chai (“Spiced Tea”) or Chai Masala (“Tea Spiced”)?

Masala means “spice blend” or “spice mix,” so there is really no fixed recipe for chai masala, other than perhaps family recipes from various cultures and traditions.

It is thought when you transcend a simple masala with intention to serve a specific medicinal purpose or health concern it then becomes what is referred to as a karha. This is an important aspect of the intricate history of Chai and is perhaps central to defining the heart of chai masala itself.

An Invitation

We adore our students and greater community of plant-loving folks! Nothing warms our hearts more than seeing how you may weave a thread of plant wisdom we have shared into your own brilliant, healing, unique tapestry.

We invite you to do just that with what you’ll find in this mini-ebook. May the contents inform and encourage you to craft Masala Chai-inspired delights of all sorts. Creativity abounds in this community!

With love and winter blessings,

It’s all about those perforations 🕳️ 🕳️ 🕳️ that’s why it’s called Hypericum PERFORATUM!

Was so happy to find a vibrant little patch of St. John’s Wort volunteering in the garden today!

Of course if this plant was in flower it would be easy to recognize (☀️☀️☀️), but it’s important to be able to identify your herbal allies in all the forms they take throughout the wheel of the year.

This one is easy: pluck a leaf, hold it up to the sun, if you see all the pinpricks of light shining through you have the “holiest” of leaves: St. John’s Wort!
