Turmeric
There has been a lot in the news
lately about the amazing healing properties of turmeric, a free-radical-fighting
antioxidant-rich curry spice that has been hailed as a defense
against both cancer and Alzheimer’s. When we found this
tasty recipe for a warming, detoxifying ginger-turmeric tea,
we were thrilled: after the holiday season, we figured we could
use some detoxing and healing!

Then we tasted it, and were totally
hooked: it’s delicious! Ginger and turmeric combine with
citrus and maple syrup to make the perfect blend of healing nutrients.
We streamlined the recipe to make it ultra-easy, too:

powdered herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Strain tea into a mug, add maple syrup and lemon, stirring
to combine. Drink warm.

Spa Cuisine: Peachy Iced Green
Tea – Recipe
Drinking green tea may help you
lose weight. According to clinical studies conducted by Dr. Abdul
Dulloo, of the University of Geneva in Switzerland, green tea
raises metabolic rates and speeds up fat oxidation. Green tea
is also a great immune-enhancing health-booster and anti-cancer
agent, with flavonoids and polyphenols thought to inhibit tumor
formation.
So here is our easy-to-make recipe
for green tea, but this one tastes so good you’ll never
guess how good it is for you! A great, healthy thirst-quencher
for hot summer days.
Simple Solution:
INGREDIENTS
6 green tea teabags
6 cups cold water
2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
1. Place teabags in a large teapot
or pitcher.
2. Put sliced peaches in a saucepan, add cold water, and bring
to a brisk boil, then pour water and peaches over teabags.
3. Steep for 6 minutes, then add sweetener (maple syrup, honey
or Succanat are recommended). Allow tea to cool, then refrigerate
until thoroughly chilled.
4. Include a few peach slices in each glass and serve with a
spoon, garnished with a sprig of mint, if you like.
Even Easier Alternative Method:
Make a pitcher of green tea and add the contents of a can of
organic sliced peaches. Chill thoroughly.
Makes 6 servings. |
