Years ago I went down dozens of Internet rabbit holes to find a great healthful drink.

I’d been reading up on how what we put into our bodies affects our health. I was drinking more water (something I started based on these reflection questions!) and including anti-inflammatory ingredients in my food. But what about getting great ingredients through a special drink?

The result? This good gut tea 🤩

I tinkered with the concoction until I fell in love. It warms me up from the inside out AND supports my health. I drink it all year long. In the fall and winter, I love to drink it hot for a sweet evening treat. In the hotter months, it’s great cold for a quick pick-me-up. The ingredients are anti-inflammatory and promote good sleep.

What’s not to love??!

INGREDIENTS + RECIPE: ANTI-INFLAMMATORY GOOD GUT TEA

Hot Water

1 Organic Chamomile Tea Bag

1 Organic Ginger/Turmeric Tea Bag

1/4-1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Honey

1 Tsp Ginger (ground or fresh)

3-5g Collagen or Glycine (optional)

RECIPE NOTES

If you don’t have each of these ingredients on hand, improvise with what you have in your cupboards.

Use frozen crushed ginger cubes from Wal-mart or Target.

Trader Joe’s is a great store for ginger/turmeric tea and other hot teas.

In the hotter months, make your tea and store in the refrigerator. Serve over ice.
