I love to play with Essential Oils and infuse them into my daily life, especially into what I eat and drink!
In this specific recipe, we'll use cardamom, which is not only good for your respiratory system but is awesome for digestion, too! And we'll use cinnamon, which is good for your metabolism, helps maintain an already healthy blood sugar, and is an aphrodisiac!
This is my favorite rice to make with curry.
