Ingredients
Tea Base
- 1 Green tea bag
- 1 Chamomile tea bag
- 1 tsp dried Chamomile flowers
- 1 cup Water
Flavor Additions
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1 inch grated Turmeric
- 1 inch grated fresh Ginger
- 1 tsp Honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Boil Water: Heat water until it reaches a rolling boil to ensure proper extraction of tea flavors and beneficial compounds.
- Steep Tea Bags: Place the green tea bag and chamomile tea bag into a heat-safe container, then pour the hot water over them. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes to release flavors and antioxidants.
- Strain Tea: Remove the tea bags and strain out the loose chamomile flowers to create a clear infusion base for your cocktail.
- Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the brewed tea to add brightness and vitamin C.
- Add Flavorings and Sweetener: Stir in the grated turmeric, grated fresh ginger, and honey (if using) to enhance flavor and health benefits.
- Chill & Serve: Pour the tea over ice cubes in glasses and serve immediately as a refreshing chilled beverage.
Notes
- Use fresh turmeric and ginger for maximum flavor and health benefits.
- Honey is optional and can be adjusted or omitted based on taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Steeping time can be increased slightly for a stronger tea flavor but avoid over-steeping green tea to prevent bitterness.
- This recipe serves 3 and can be easily doubled for larger batches.
- Store any leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and consume chilled.
