Ingredients
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp echinacea powder (optional)
1 tbsp green tea leaves (or 1–2 green tea bags)
Silicone mold for shaping (small, round molds work best)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and echinacea powder (if using) until well combined.
Fill each silicone mold with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture, then press green tea leaves on top, filling each mold completely. If using tea bags, cut them open to use the loose tea leaves.
Freeze the molds for 1-2 hours, or until the tea bombs are solid.
Pop the tea bombs out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to use.
To Make the Tea: Place one tea bomb in a mug and pour 1 cup of hot water over it. Stir until the bomb dissolves, and enjoy the soothing flavors.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne pepper for spice preference.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Add elderberry syrup or echinacea for extra immunity support.
