Lighten Up Tea

Spring is the season to lighten up. After winter’s chill, it is time to melt the inner freeze. The winter body tends to become stagnant, sluggish and tight. Just as spring’s warmer temperatures melt mountain snow, thaw frozen lakes and cause rivers to swell… Spring is the season for us to  defrost, circulate, release and let it flow.

Whether it’s winter’s weight, or life’s excesses you are ready to release, this combination of spices taken in hot water with honey kindles digestive fire, stimulates metabolism, encourages circulation, burns waste and boosts immunity. For optimal benefits, make it in the morning, pour it into a thermos to keep it warm, and sip throughout the day, especially with meals.

  1. Laura,
    I do love your tea recipes and I always bring it to office in a thermos.
    The only problem is that I have very white enamel and the spices can color it so I have to reduce the quantity.
    Love

  2. I love how you describe the parallels between the seasonal changes and the body’s need to adjust. What a great tea. Homemade teas are so simple yet feel so special — you’ve taught me this through your blog and your book!

Will you try this? What are you loving this season?
