Hi guys! Let's talk about herbal teas!
-
Not Synced
This is a lovely, lovely world!
-
Not Synced
Is it a great way to hydrate? Yes!
-
Not Synced
Is it a lovely way to start the day? Yes!
-
Not Synced
Does it give a cozy, warm feeling? Yes!
-
Not Synced
And can't fruit you heat extract
beautiful flavors
-
Not Synced
that you wouldn't have
in a cold drink? Yes!
-
Not Synced
I'm going to give you a combo today,
which I think is brilliant.
-
Not Synced
If you look at this, this is turmeric.
-
Not Synced
If world worth having a look at this,
-
Not Synced
unbelievable, brilliant to use
in your cooking, of course.
-
Not Synced
We normally get it like this,
as a dry product.
-
Not Synced
Either way, this is absolutely packed
to the rafters with iron,
-
Not Synced
which is not bad thing
-
Not Synced
because we want to have lovely,
healthy blood cells
-
Not Synced
and it's really, really good
for our general health.
-
Not Synced
Now, we can absorb more iron
in the presence of citrus!
-
Not Synced
So, whether is orange or lemon,
-
Not Synced
and there's juice and a lovely zest there,
-
Not Synced
this is going to make a delicious drink!
-
Not Synced
Look at the color! Oh my God!
-
Not Synced
Watch your hand because it will stain.
-
Not Synced
Get this into a jar.
-
Not Synced
Now, what I love to do
-
Not Synced
is I make little teas in an airtight jar
-
Not Synced
-- I use that as my tea pot --
-
Not Synced
obviously make sure it's a nice,
[inaudible] jar,
-
Not Synced
something that is heatproof,
-
Not Synced
and whatever is left over,
-
Not Synced
goes into the fridge
and then you chill it,
-
Not Synced
and you get a totally different
sort of flavor spectrum when you keep it.
-
Not Synced
I love doing it with things like
lemon, orange...
-
Not Synced
If you got a speed peeler,
-
Not Synced
those essential oils come out of zest,
just a couple of bits of zest,
-
Not Synced
literally 3 bits of that
are going to transform your tea.
-
Not Synced
A bit of this slice
and a few bits of that.
-
Not Synced
You can absolutely sweeten this
with a little bit honey, if you want to.
-
Not Synced
So, a little teaspoon of honey in there
for a drink for 2-3 people.
-
Not Synced
It's delicious and that balance
-
Not Synced
that sort of the bitter,
the fragrant, the juicy...
-
Not Synced
and the honey is lovely.
-
Not Synced
Some boiling water,
-
Not Synced
just a little bit of thyme goes in
-
Not Synced
and let's let it steep
for a couple of minutes.
-
Not Synced
Let's talk about what we can say
about these herbal teas for a fact.
-
Not Synced
We've got vitamin C in the orange,
-
Not Synced
and the vitamin C in the orange
is going to let you
-
Not Synced
absorb more iron from the turmeric
-- double pleasure --
-
Not Synced
But in the thyme, you've got calcium,
can you believe it?
-
Not Synced
We always associate sort of
calcium rich food with dairy,
-
Not Synced
but actually, it's in thyme as well.
-
Not Synced
So you can see,
they're not empty calories.
-
Not Synced
These are not like naked
like in a lot of soda,
-
Not Synced
this is beautiful stuff, which is amazing!
-
Not Synced
Basically, the story is
-
Not Synced
that whether is kind of ancient Greeks,
Romans, Chinese medicine, yadayadaya...
-
Not Synced
there's so much association
for beautiful herbal teas
-
Not Synced
and good health.
-
Not Synced
I can't actually legitimately say
a lot of this stuff
-
Not Synced
because the truth is,
-
Not Synced
science, medicine,
just doesn't know enough
-
Not Synced
about what we know yet.
-
Not Synced
The question is,
-
Not Synced
are you prepared to sit around and wait
for science to tell you this is good?
-
Not Synced
Naaah!
-
Not Synced
Get in there!
-
Not Synced
Boil up a kettle,
-
Not Synced
have some fun with spices,
things like fennel seeds, cinnamon...
-
Not Synced
You know, all these lovely spices
have got lovely micronutrients for sure,
-
Not Synced
citrus, for sure,
-
Not Synced
herbs, for sure...
-
Not Synced
So, let's have a little pour out...
-
Not Synced
Delicious!
-
Not Synced
Really, really... sort of comforting
and therapeutic, and undoubtedly,
-
Not Synced
better for you than a whole load of
average drink you can have,
-
Not Synced
who can argue the good things
that factually are correct about this...
-
Not Synced
But guys, I hope you liked this video,
-
Not Synced

-
Not Synced
but more importantly,
-
Not Synced

and let's share it on the community.
-
Not Synced

Not Synced

I'm going to give it a quick look
-
Not Synced

-
Not Synced

really lovely way
-
Not Synced

Not Synced

Not Synced
