Autumn Glow: Skin-Boosting Spiced Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp loose-leaf green tea or 1 green tea bag
• 1 tsp dried chamomile flowers or 1 chamomile tea bag
• 1 tsp dried hibiscus flowers
• 1 tsp raw honey (optional, for added sweetness and extra skin benefits)
• 1-2 slices of fresh lemon
• 1 small piece of fresh ginger (for a warming, anti-inflammatory boost)
• 1-2 sticks of cinnamon (adds anti-inflammatory benefits and warmth)
• A pinch of nutmeg (optional, for a deeper fall flavor)
• 2 cups filtered water

Instructions:

1. Boil the Water: Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil, then let it cool slightly (about 170°F to 180°F) to avoid burning the green tea leaves.
2. Add the Ingredients: In a teapot or large mug, add the green tea, chamomile flowers, hibiscus flowers, cinnamon sticks, and fresh ginger.
3. Steep: Pour the hot water over the tea blend and let it steep for 7-10 minutes to let the spices fully infuse.
4. Strain: Strain the tea into a mug (if using loose-leaf tea and whole spices), or remove the tea bags and cinnamon sticks.
5. Add Honey and Lemon: Stir in raw honey for natural sweetness and a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing, vitamin-rich finish.
6. Garnish and Serve: Add a pinch of nutmeg on top for a cozy fall flavor, and serve warm for a soothing, skin-loving tea.

Optional Fall Boosts:

• Clove: Add a few cloves for extra anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
• Apple Slices: Add a couple of apple slices for natural sweetness and added fall vibes.
