Herbal teas and their health benefits
Now and then, after a long day's work, our bodies ache for a cool drink to help us cool down. A natural herbal refreshing tea or a cup of tea prepared by ourselves is an alternative to industrial fruit juice or carbonated soft drinks if we choose not to go that route.
Often, we can make something delicious and nutritious right in our own home or at a nearby fruit stand.
Here we have chosen these special five refreshing natural teas or drinks to try:
Refreshing turmeric and ginger tea:
You can use this refreshing and calming herb to make delicious and healthy herbal teas that are good for you. There are broad leaves and yellow flowers on the wild turmeric plant, which blooms spontaneously and perennially.
The root is the most important part of the equation. It is an excellent source of nutrients and has many health-enhancing properties. It is valued for its ability to reduce inflammation and aid digestion.
Finally, it has anti-cancer and antioxidant properties. You'll get a lot of benefits for your body and mind by making tea or drinking it with these ingredients. Other ingredients, such as ginger, can be combined with it.
Ingredients
12 teaspoons of turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
water
Directions
It's better to use turmeric roots rather than powder in this case. Once you've grated the turmeric and ginger with a grater, let them sit in hot water that has been heated in an electric kettle or boiler.
The water should be steaming hot when you're ready to add it to the grated turmeric and ginger roots. Allow the tea to cool and the typical yellowish hue of the spices will emerge.
Add some natural sweetener if you'd like, but it's better to drink it as is. The liquid can be refrigerated for later use as a cool drink or consumed immediately as tea using a sieve strainer and bottle.
If you want the most out of herbal tea, it's best to drink just one cup a day, and you shouldn't drink it for over three days.
refreshing mint tea.
It is a garden-friendly aromatic herb with a powerful aroma that can be used in a variety of ways, from food and cocktails to refreshing natural tea and drinks, as we have done here.
Mint has antiseptic properties and can help with digestive issues, which is good for the liver's function. The menthol in the flavour of mint tea can help with both digestive problems and respiratory infections.
Even if you don't drink it, it's a great way to relax your entire body.
Ingredients
Mint Leaves
Grate ginger
Honey (optional)
Water
Directions
Bring the water to a boil in a pot, then remove from the heat and add the mint leaves, which have been cut into small pieces with a knife to release their aroma and the grated ginger.
After it has been cooled slightly, you can either drink it right away as tea or store it in a jar or bottle in the fridge for a refreshing drink later. To sweeten to taste, you can use honey or a natural sweetener.
Kaskade's refreshing herbal tea
We derived this natural ingredient from hibiscus flowers. It has a distinct red colour and a sour flavour.
It's important to dry the leaves. It has antiseptic urinary tract properties and is a good depurative, as well as being a well-known relaxing tea with excellent purifying and digestive properties. It's especially nutritious and refreshing as a herbal tea.
Ingredients
40 grams of dried hibiscus flowers.
1 litre of liquid.
Directions
Bring the water to a boil, then remove from the heat and add the flowers, covering everything with a lid and allowing it to steep for 10 minutes.
Once the herbal tea has cooled, strain it through a sieve to remove any impurities before drinking it hot like tea, or storing it in a jar or bottle for later use as a refreshing herbal drink.
The vitamin C content of this tea is also high. It energizes you and improves the quality of your day.
Lemon balm is a refreshing tea.
Are you having trouble sleeping at night because of depression, anxiety, or other health issues? Because of its sedative properties, lemon balm herbal tea is the one for you. It calms the body and relaxes the muscles, allowing you to get a good night's sleep.
It is one of the most effective natural products on the market. We can also combine it with other herbs like lavender or rosemary to make a healthy and refreshing tea.
Ingredients
40 grams of dried lemon balm leaves or
Fresh lemon balm leaves
Water
Directions
In a pot or electric kettle, bring the water to a boil, then pour it over the dried or fresh leaves and cover.
After the herbal tea has cooled slightly, strain it through a sieve and enjoy your hot tea, or pour it into a jar or bottle. Cool until ready to serve as a cool, refreshing beverage. Your herbal tea for bedtime is ready. Enjoy!
Chicory herbal tea:
This is a multi-nutritional and beneficial ingredient that is high in K vitamins and chlorophyll and is known for its purifying and general detoxifying properties.
It can be eaten raw or cooked, and infusions are an excellent anti-stress drink. It is also high in iron because of its abundance of chlorophyll, making it a popular vegetarian and vegan food.
Ingredients
Chicory leaves or
Dried leaves of chicory
Water
Directions
Bring the water to a boil, then pour it over the leaves, covering them with a lid. The infusion time should not exceed 10 minutes. Then strain through a sieve.
You can drink it right away as tea or store it in a jar or bottle in the fridge to enjoy later as a drink. Because of its detoxifying effect on the body, I recommend drinking it several times throughout the day.
