Forget plain old green tea. This blend is like a warm hug with a kick of bright flavours and powerful immune-boosting spices. It’s the perfect winter pick-me-up—rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ingredients:
• 2 cups of water
• 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced
• A pinch of saffron threads (about 6-8 threads)
• 1 small cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp fennel seeds (optional for digestive support)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• A squeeze of lemon (optional, for brightness)
Instructions:
1. Boil: Add the water, cardamom, ginger, saffron, cinnamon, and fennel seeds (if using) to a small pot and bring to a gentle boil.
2. Simmer: Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the flavours are infused.
3. Strain and serve: Strain into your favourite mug, stir in honey or maple syrup if you like, and add a squeeze of lemon for a citrusy zing.
Why It’s Special:
Saffron is known for its mood-boosting properties, while ginger and cardamom warm the body and support digestion. It’s not just tea—it’s a moment of calm in a cup.
Start the New Year Nourished and Strong
As you sip your tea, take a moment to breathe deeply and remind yourself:
• I don’t need to rush into this new year.
• I don’t need to be perfect to be worthy.
