As the summer months roll in, we like having our Taheebo Tea on the rocks 🍹
We find it to be a refreshing way to take in the wellness goodies of this amazing tea each day as the temperatures climb.
You may try simply adding some ice to your brewed Taheebo Tea. We also like adding a squeeze of lemon juice to give it a bright, uplifting flavor. We drink it unsweetened, however, some like adding a bit of natural sweetener like stevia or maple syrup. Go ahead, experiment, give it a try!
If you are feeling really adventurous you may like to try brewing this Iced Ginger Mint Taheebo Tea. Taheebo has traditionally been used to support digestive comfort and gut balance, and ginger and mint are classic after-meal companions, so this is a lovely drink to sip after dinner.
Why we love this combination
- Taheebo: the earthy base, traditionally used to support digestive comfort and gut balance.
- Ginger: a warm, spicy kick, and a classic after-meal favorite traditionally enjoyed for digestive comfort.
- Mint: cool and fresh, and traditionally enjoyed after meals for digestive comfort.
- Lemon: brightens the whole cup and softens the earthiness.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Taheebo tea is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
The full recipe is below, however, here’s a quick summary. Simply add grated ginger to your Taheebo Tea as it is brewing on the stove (cook 25 minutes at a gentle rolling boil).
Then add mint leaves, cover and steep for five more minutes.
After straining and allowing your tea to cool, add the lemon juice, a handful of ice, and voilà! You’ve got a refreshing iced ginger mint Taheebo tea! Feel free to add a little honey, stevia, or your sweetener of choice.
It’s a good idea to drink plenty of water alongside your tea to stay hydrated.
Happy sipping!
