Sometimes life can become a little bit toxic and with that comes illness and infections. We don’t take the time to clean our bodies properly and instead we just carry on filling them with more “garbage”. Drinking some of this cleansing tea once a day will help you get rid of unwanted and detrimental toxins, viruses and bacterias that cause health problems. It’s cheap and only takes 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients for a cold-and flu-buster cleansing tea
1 2” cinnamon stick
¼ cup coriander seeds
1 bunch cilantro, with roots if possible, lightly bruised with the side of a knife
1 bunch rosemary, lightly bruised with the side of a knife
1 2” piece peeled ginger, finely grated
2 bags of detox tea (such as Traditional Medicinals EveryDay Detox)
1 tablespoon manuka honey or raw honey
1 tablespoon raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar
Preparation
Toast cinnamon stick and coriander seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to crackle for about 4 minutes.
Crush with the side of a knife or cleaver and transfer to a large saucepan and add 4 cups of water.
Cook over medium-high heat. Add cilantro, rosemary, ginger, tea bags, honey, and vinegar to saucepan, and stir.
Reduce heat to low and let mixture steep for 10-15 minutes and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a cup or jar.
