Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp dried chamomile or dried peppermint tea (or your favorite calming herbal blend)
- Optional: pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
Instructions
- Warm the honey: In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup honey over low heat until it becomes liquid and easy to stir, then remove the pan from heat to prevent overheating and preserve honey’s beneficial properties.
- Mix spices and lemon: Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger), 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the warmed honey. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a smooth mixture.
- Prepare the molds: Sprinkle a pinch of dried chamomile or dried peppermint tea into each cavity of a silicone mold or an ice cube tray, ensuring an even distribution of herbs in every cavity.
- Fill the molds: Pour the honey and spice mixture evenly over the dried herbs in each mold cavity. Optionally, add a pinch of black pepper to each for enhanced turmeric absorption and health benefits.
- Set the tea bombs: Allow the filled molds to cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the solidification process until the mixture is fully hardened.
- Remove and store: Once solid, carefully pop the tea bombs out of the silicone mold or tray and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Use your tea bomb: To enjoy, place one tea bomb in a mug and pour hot water over it. Stir continuously until the tea bomb fully dissolves, releasing the comforting flavors and warming spices for a delightful, soothing drink.
