This chilly weather calls for one of my favorite beverages: homemade chai. With just a few basic ingredients, this recipe is easy, delicious and inexpensive.
ingredients
6 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
4 cloves
1 inch ginger, sliced
8 pods cardamom
6 black peppercorns
1 bag peppermint tea (or 1 tablespoon loose peppermint tea)
directions
- Combine all ingredients in a pot and place on stove over medium heat
- Bring to a boil, then turn down and simmer for 15 minutes
- Strain into mugs
- Serve piping hot with agave and almond milk
This recipe for homemade chai is simple and, on a cloudy day, very satisfying! Another vegan, dairy-free, lactose-free, gluten-free beverage for a chilly day. Enjoy!

Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.
Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.
A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.
She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.
In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.
