Hi guys! Let's talk about herbal teas!
This is... a lovely, lovely world!
Is it a great way to hydrate? Yes!
Is it a lovely way to start the day? Yes!
Does it give a cozy, warm feeling? Yes!
And can't fruit you heat extract beautiful flavors
that you wouldn't have in a cold drink? Yes!
I'm going to give you a combo today, which I think is brilliant.
If you look at this, this is turmeric.
If world worth having a look at this,
unbelievable, brilliant to use in your cooking, of course --
we normally get it like this, as a dry product --
either way, this is absolutely packed to the rafters with iron,
which is not bad thing
because we want to have lovely, healthy blood cells
and it's really, really good for our general health.
Now, we can absorb more iron in the presence of --
citrus!
So, whether is orange or lemon,
and there's juice and a lovely zest there,
this is going to make a delicious drink!
Look at the color! Oh my God!
Watch your hand because it will stain --
Get this into jar --
Now, what I love to do,
it's I make little teas in an airtight jar, right --
I use that as my tea pot,
obviously make sure it's a nice, [inaudible] jar,
something that is heatproof,
and whatever is left over,
goes into the fridge
and then you chill it,
and you get a totally different sort of flavor spectrum when you keep it.
I love doing it with things like lemon, orange --
if you got a speed peeler,
those essential oils come out of zest, just a couple of bits of zest,
literally 3 bits of that are going to transform your tea.
A bit of this slice and a few bits of that.
You can absolutely sweeten this with a little bit honey, if you want to.
So, a little teaspoon of honey in there for a drink for 2-3 people.
It's delicious and that balance
that sort of the bitter, the fragrant, the juicy --
and the honey is lovely.
Some boiling water --
Just a little bit of thyme goes in
and let's let it steep for a couple of minutes.
