November 24th, 2018 Drink of the Week
So called because I got this recipe from Meghan Markle’s cookbook! I guzzled this entire mixture down and felt so good afterwards. Reduce the amount of ginger if you like a more subtle flavour.
60g fresh root ginger
6 green cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
5 cloves
1 star anise
800 ml water
sugar, to taste
Peel and grate the ginger and slightly crush the cardamom pods under the blade of a knife
Place all the spices in a pan and cover with the water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes
Strain into mugs or heatproof glasses, add sugar to taste and serve.
If someone was to ask me what I think the main thing you have to learn when you get sober, I would say it is this… You have to learn how to sit with your uncomfortable emotions.

"Removing the option of drink was like lifting up a massive rug to find all the emotional detritus I’d swept out of sight."
