Ingredients
Scale
Tea Bomb Mixture
- 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)
Equipment
- Silicone mold or ice cube tray
Instructions
- Warm the Honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm 1/2 cup honey until it liquefies, then remove from heat to prevent overheating or burning.
- Mix Spices and Lemon: To the warm honey, 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. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Prepare the Mold: Sprinkle a pinch of dried chamomile or peppermint tea evenly into each cavity of a silicone mold or ice cube tray. Add a pinch of black pepper if using to help increase the turmeric’s bioavailability.
- Pour Honey Mixture: Carefully pour the spiced honey mixture over the herbs in each cavity, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Set the Tea Bombs: Allow the tea bombs to cool completely at room temperature until they solidify. For faster setting, refrigerate the molds until hardened.
- Remove from Mold: Once fully hardened, gently pop the tea bombs out of the silicone mold or ice cube tray.
- Serve: To enjoy, place a tea bomb in a mug and pour hot water over it. Stir until fully dissolved to reveal a soothing and comforting herbal tea drink.
Notes
- You can customize the herbal blend based on your preference—try chamomile for relaxation or peppermint for a refreshing twist.
- Adding a pinch of black pepper enhances turmeric absorption due to piperine.
- Store tea bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them solid and fresh.
- Use fresh grated ginger for a stronger, fresher ginger flavor compared to ground ginger.
- These tea bombs can also be melted in warm milk or plant-based milk for a comforting latte variation.
