Digestive Tea

I am sitting here drinking an Ayurvedic Digestive Tea after eating a big bowl of Pinto Bean Mole (chocolate beans).  Thank God for Mexican-Indian breakfasts.
This is an easy and delicious digestive aid to drink after any meal:

2 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds

break up the seeds with a mortar and pestle and then pour in a tea pot with the water.  Allow to steep for 10 minutes and strain (or use one of those clever pots with the mesh basket).

This aids digestion for vata, pitta, and kapha in all seasons.
