Jaskrit’s Herbal Breakfast Tea & Toast

Start your day with a refreshing herbal tea and toast combination. Fresh mint, sage and cilantro brighten your day, while a side of cucumbers adds a crisp touch. Inspired by Chef Jaskrit Bhalla's Ayurvedic practices, this breakfast pairs perfectly with a soft-boiled egg for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter) or olive oil
  • 1/2 avocado
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill
  • 1 (optional) cucumber
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs

Instructions

Prepare the Herby Tea:

  • In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

  • Add the fresh mint and cilantro leaves. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Remove from heat and strain the tea into a teapot or individual cups.

  • Stir in honey to taste and add a slice of lemon to each cup.

Prepare the Toast:

  • While the tea is brewing, toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispness.

  • Spread the ghee evenly over each slice of toast.

  • Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toast.

  • Sprinkle the chopped cilantro and parsley leaves on top of the ghee. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Optional Additions:

  • For a refreshing side, serve with sliced cucumber.

  • For added protein and a satisfying touch, prepare soft-boiled eggs. To do this, bring a pot of water to a gentle boil, carefully lower the eggs into the water, and cook for 6-7 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then peel and serve alongside the toast.

Serve:

  • Arrange the herby toast on plates and pour the freshly brewed herbal tea into cups.

  • Optionally, add the sliced cucumbers and soft-boiled eggs to complete the meal.

Enjoy your Herbal Breakfast Tea & Toast, a refreshing and wholesome start to your day!
