The Iron Leaf Elixir — “Bitter Tea Tonic of Camphor, Seed & Stillness”
This is the bitter tea of monks, grief-workers, and watchers of the wind. Strong black tea leaves merged with toasted fenugreek, tulsi leaf, black cardamom pod, orange peel pith, and black salt. Finished with a single drop of camphor oil. It is not for pleasure. It is for presence.
⟁ Core Components
- Tea Base: Strong Assam or Ceylon black tea
- Seed & Spice: Toasted fenugreek seed, tulsi leaf, black cardamom pod, dried orange pith
- Bitterness Amplifiers: Roasted citrus peel, black salt, dried hibiscus or sumac (optional)
- Final Note: Camphor essential oil (food-grade, 1 drop only)
- Optional: Dash of bitter gentian or arjuna bark infusion
✍️ Preparation Ritual
- Seed Toasting: Toast fenugreek seeds in a dry pan until aromatic. Crack the black cardamom pod. Crush dried orange pith slightly.
- Brew Base: In 2 cups water, steep black tea with toasted spices, tulsi, and pith for 6–8 minutes. Let bitterness bloom fully. Do not sweeten. Do not shorten.
- Final Blessing: Stir in a pinch of black salt. Add 1 drop food-grade camphor oil. Stir counter-clockwise.
- Serve: In small, dark ceramic cup. Sip warm. In silence. It sharpens your breath. It carries you inward.
