Posted by Jayshree Tea on May 27th, 2021

Nothing beats the powerhouse of a drink that is organic green tea. It is good for you in many wondrous ways. However, what if we told you that adding certain ingredients that boost the health powers of green tea? 

Read on and learn about flavourful health boosters to green tea. 

Lemon & honey 

Imagine if we told you that these two ingredients could boost your nutrition absorption power 6 times? Yes, you read that right! Adding a slice of lemon and a teaspoon of honey to your freshly brewed cup of organic green tea helps you absorb the nutrients of green tea better. Additionally, it makes your tea more flavourful.

Spearmint 

Besides tea, have you ever wondered if there was a hot drink that could cool you down and leave you refreshed and zingy? Adding a few sprigs of spearmint to your cup of tea does exactly that. The compounds found in spearmint leave you feeling refreshed and drive away those pesky afternoon slumps. The taste of spearmint also is a great mouth freshener. Sip through some, whenever you feel lazy. 

Ginger

A cup of freshly brewed organic green tea is amazing, but for some of us we are left craving of that masala chai taste. Fret not, you can get the punchy taste of ginger if you add it to your cup of green tea as well. Ginger not only has many medicinal properties; it is beneficial for aiding weight loss too. Grate in some ginger into the water for tea or add some finely chopped to your cup once done brewing. 

Turmeric 

Whenever you brew yourself some oolong tea or even green tea, you can consider adding a pinch of turmeric powder for an extra boost to your immune system. Turmeric is known for its healing properties. It is good for your lungs and has anti-inflammatory properties that help you beat the bloat. 

Cinnamon 

Another spice that is great to add to your cup of oolong tea or green tea is cinnamon. Before you jump in and say that it may affect the taste of your tea, many oolong teas have a malty taste - this spice pairs perfectly with it and enhances the aroma. 

Drink up cups of your favourite tea with these ingredients and stay on the path of healthy living.
