Herbal tea has been found to be rich in antioxidants and vitamins. They are great in keeping the body healthy, they help in boosting our immune system.

My mom and I love drinking herbal tea; we have made it a habit. It is one of the many things we both have in common and include in our daily routines.

Today, I am here to share the recipe and ingredients she uses (don’t worry guys, she approved).

INGREDIENTS
Fresh Lemongrass leaves
Dried Bay leaf
Fresh Ginger
Fresh Tumeric
Any tea bag of choice (preferably green tea, cranberry tea, bergamot tea)

PROCEDURE
1. Put water in a pot and put it on the fire.
2. Add 7-10 leaves of lemongrass into the water.
3. Add about 3 dried bay leaves (try to break and crumble it in your hands first).
4. Slice your fresh ginger and turmeric then, add in the pot.
5. Allow to boil for about 10-15 minutes.
6. Remove from fire then add the teabag of your choice; leave it in for 3 minutes and your tea is ready.
7. Add any sweetener of choice; I personally prefer to use honey.
