Why You’ll Love These Tea Bombs
Natural Cold & Flu Support
Each ingredient in these tea bombs is selected for its health-boosting properties. Honey soothes sore throats and coughs, while lemon juice offers a dose of vitamin C. Ginger and turmeric are well-known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, and cinnamon adds not only warmth but also antimicrobial properties. Together, they create a powerful elixir that can help shorten the duration of a cold or flu and ease your symptoms naturally.
Convenient and Customizable
One of the best parts of making these tea bombs is how simple and versatile they are. You can make a batch in under 15 minutes and store them in the refrigerator for quick access whenever you need a healthful cup of tea. Feel free to tweak the flavors by adding a pinch of cayenne for an extra kick or a few drops of echinacea extract for added immune support. The base recipe is just the beginning.
How to Make Immune-Boosting Tea Bombs
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey (preferably raw)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, lemon juice, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon.
- Warm the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously to ensure everything is well blended. Be careful not to let it boil, as high heat can diminish the benefits of honey.
- Once the mixture is thoroughly mixed and warm, pour it into silicone molds or small paper wrappers.
- Allow the tea bombs to cool and solidify at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing them in the fridge.
- Store the solid tea bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- To use, drop one tea bomb into a mug of hot water. Stir until fully dissolved and enjoy immediately for a comforting, immune-boosting beverage.
Tips, Tricks & Variations
Storage and Shelf Life
Keep your tea bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just let them thaw for a minute or two before adding to hot water.
Make It Your Own
Want to personalize your tea bombs? Add a drop of essential oil (food-grade), such as lemon or peppermint. You can also incorporate matcha powder or dried herbs like thyme and oregano for additional wellness benefits. For those who like a bit of spice, a dash of black pepper can enhance the bioavailability of turmeric.
