Their Aches and pains and sore throat can take you off your ‘A’ game very quickly, that’s why we strongly believe in this ‘go too’ natural tea. Ginger & Turmeric have so many health benefits, we should tie red capes around the bottles before shipping them out!

Turmeric is known to have anti-inflammatory properties and this warming, beautifully colored spice makes a perfect companion with our ginger for this warm tea (hint it can be made in advance and served cold over ice). It turns out this is not a new idea; turmeric tea is found in Okinawan and Indian cuisine and a quick internet search will yield copious amounts of alternate recipes.
