Benefits of the Tea Ingredients:
- Apple: I used a Honey Crisp Apple with bruises and it was about to go bad. Adding apple slices to tea naturally sweetens it, enhances flavor, and infuses the drink with vitamins and antioxidants, making it both tastier and healthier. Plus, the aroma and nutrients from the apples create a more enjoyable and nutritious tea experience.
- Lemon: Bursting with vitamin C and citrusy freshness, lemon adds an extra immune-boosting punch, supports collagen production, and enhances overall flavor.
- Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger contributes to a soothing effect, aids digestion, and adds a zesty warmth to the tea.
- Cloves: With their aromatic intensity, cloves bring antimicrobial properties to the blend, providing an extra layer of defense for the immune system.
- Cinnamon Sticks: Beyond adding a hint of sweetness, cinnamon contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds to the tea, supporting overall health.
- Fresh Mint Leaves: Mint not only adds a refreshing flavor but also contributes to digestion and may have antimicrobial properties.
- Fresh Rosemary: This brings its unique herbal essence to the mix and is known for potential immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Boiling Water
- Echinacea Tea Bags: Echinacea tea is known for potentially supporting the immune system, and reducing the duration and severity of cold symptoms. It’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may contribute to overall well-being and respiratory health.
