For this tea, you’ll need only two ingredients and half a cup of milk (optional). This is one of the teas I always prefer to make with milk, but if you don’t want to use it, that’s perfectly fine.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of fresh or dried rosemary
  • 1.5 tablespoons of turmeric (fresh root or powder)
  • 1 cup of water
  • ½ cup of milk (coconut milk or any other milk of your choice)
  • Honey (optional, for sweetness)

Benefits of the Ingredients

  1. Rosemary:
    • Natural Antibiotic: Thanks to a compound called carnosol, rosemary has powerful antimicrobial properties, making it highly effective against intestinal and respiratory infections.
    • Cognitive Boost: It contains cineol, which improves focus and memory.
    • Anti-Inflammatory: High levels of potassium and cineol make rosemary a potent anti-inflammatory, reducing various inflammatory processes in the body.
    • Digestive Aid: It helps with digestive issues like heartburn, gas, and liver or gallbladder problems.
    • Diuretic: It combats water retention and promotes detoxification by increasing urine production.
  2. Turmeric:
    • Antioxidant Powerhouse: Turmeric eliminates free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to cardiovascular diseases.
    • Anti-Inflammatory: Curcumin, a key compound in turmeric, reduces inflammation and blocks inflammatory molecules, making it effective for conditions like arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Pain Relief: It alleviates arthritic pain, gout, and muscle pain caused by injuries.
    • Heart Health: Turmeric improves circulation, reduces cholesterol, and prevents blood clots.
    • Skin Benefits: It brightens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and combats signs of aging.

Recipe Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Rosemary:
    • Use 2 tablespoons of fresh or dried rosemary. If using fresh, remove the leaves from the stems.
  2. Prepare the Turmeric:
    • Add 1.5 tablespoons of turmeric (fresh or powdered) to a pot with 1 cup of water.
  3. Boil the Mixture:
    • Bring the turmeric and water to a boil, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add Rosemary:
    • After boiling, add the rosemary to the pot and let it steep for another 5 minutes with the lid on.
  5. Add Milk:
    • Once the tea has cooled slightly, add ½ cup of milk (coconut milk or any other milk). Stir well.
  6. Optional Sweetener:
    • If desired, add a teaspoon of honey for sweetness.
  7. Serve:
    • Strain the tea and enjoy it warm. Drink it on an empty stomach in the morning for maximum benefits.

Tips:

  • If you don’t have fresh turmeric, powdered turmeric works just as well.
  • For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
  • You can reuse the rosemary and turmeric residue for compresses to soothe skin or reduce inflammation.
