We recommend adding some cardamom to coffee as it reduces the acid in the coffee while neutralizing the effects of caffeine. This is a traditional ayurvedic antidote to the coffee side effects.
Make your coffee a treat and a pleasure rather than a habit. Enjoy the smell of a good quality organic coffee and the process of grinding beans, crashing a cardamom pod, brewing, warming up milk or adding dark muscovado sugar. Try changing cow’s milk to other milks like good quality almond, coconut or soy milk. Finally do not feel guilty about your cup of black elixir but make it an indulgent and mindful experience.
