00:00:06,010 --> 00:00:08,490
Hi guys! Let's talk about herbal teas.

3
00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:10,510
This is a lovely, lovely world!

4
00:00:10,510 --> 00:00:12,620
Is it a great way to hydrate?

5
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:13,410
Yes!

6
00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:15,970
Is it a lovely way to start the day?

7
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:16,980
Yes!

8
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:18,900
Does it give you a cozy, warm feeling?

9
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:19,840
Yes!

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,350
And can the fruit you heat 
extracts beautiful flavors

11
00:00:23,350 --> 00:00:25,270
that you wouldn't have in a cold drink?

12
00:00:25,270 --> 00:00:26,020
Yes!

13
00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:28,430
I'm going to give you a combo today,
which I think is brilliant.

14
00:00:28,430 --> 00:00:30,650
If you look at this, this is turmeric.

15
00:00:30,650 --> 00:00:32,800
It's world worth having a look for this.

16
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,710
Unbelievable, brilliant to use
in your cooking, of course.

17
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:38,900
We normally get it like this,
as a dry product.

18
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:42,850
Either way, this is absolutely packed
to the rafters with iron,

19
00:00:42,850 --> 00:00:44,430
which is no bad thing

20
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:47,510
because we want to have 
lovely, healthy blood, cells --

21
00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:50,050
and it's really, really good
for our general health.

22
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:53,315
Now, we can absorb more iron
in the presence of --

23
00:00:53,485 --> 00:00:54,410
Citrus!

24
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,760
So, whether is orange or lemon,

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240
and there's juice 
and the lovely zest there,

26
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,770
this is going to make 
a delicious, delicious drink!

27
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:03,920
Look at the color! Oh my God!

28
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,130
Watch your hand because it will stain.

29
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:09,010
Get this into a jar.

30
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:11,020
Now, what I love to do is

31
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:14,170
I make little teas 
in an airtight jar, right?

32
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,830
I use that as my tea pot.

33
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:17,980
Obviously, make sure 
it's a nice Kilner jar,

34
00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:19,210
something that is heatproof.

35
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:20,490
And then, whatever is left over,

36
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,450
goes into the fridge
and then you chill it,

37
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:27,672
and you get a totally different
sort of flavor spectrum when you keep it.

38
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,240
I love doing it with things like
lemon, orange --

39
00:01:31,330 --> 00:01:33,340
If you got a speed peeler,

40
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:37,940
those essential oils come out of zest...
just a couple of bits of zest,

41
00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:42,630
literally 3 bits like that
are going to transform your tea.

42
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,290
So, there's a little slice
and a few bits of that.

43
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,650
You can absolutely sweeten this
with a little bit honey, if you want to.

44
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:57,260
A little teaspoon of honey in there
for a drink for 2-3 people.

45
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:58,990
It's delicious and that balance

46
00:01:58,990 --> 00:02:02,270
that sort of the bitter,
the fragrant, the juicy --

47
00:02:02,270 --> 00:02:03,920
and the honey is lovely.

48
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:05,849
Some boiling water --

49
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,509
Just a little bit of thyme goes in

50
00:02:08,509 --> 00:02:10,800
and let's let it steep
for a couple of minutes.

51
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:15,250
Let's just talk about what we can say
about these herbal teas for a fact.

52
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:17,689
We've got vitamin C in the orange.

53
00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:19,659
The vitamin C in the orange
is going to let you

54
00:02:19,659 --> 00:02:23,339
absorb more iron from the turmeric
-- double pleasure --

55
00:02:23,549 --> 00:02:26,119
But in the thyme, you've got calcium,
can you believe it?

56
00:02:26,119 --> 00:02:30,240
We always associate sort of
calcium-rich-food with dairy,

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,110
but actually, it's in thyme as well.

58
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,460
So you can see, they're not
empty calories, right?

59
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:36,580
This is not like naked,
like in a lot of soda.

60
00:02:36,580 --> 00:02:39,609
This is beautiful stuff, which is amazing!

61
00:02:39,829 --> 00:02:41,719
Basically, the story is

62
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:46,269
that whether is kind of ancient Greeks,
Romans, Chinese medicine, yadayadaya --

63
00:02:46,489 --> 00:02:50,209
there's so much association
for a beautiful herbal tea

64
00:02:50,209 --> 00:02:51,699
and good health.

65
00:02:52,179 --> 00:02:54,969
I can't actually legitimately say
a lot of this stuff

66
00:02:54,969 --> 00:02:56,499
because the truth is,

67
00:02:56,499 --> 00:02:59,950
science, medicine,
just doesn't know enough

68
00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:02,059
about what we know, yet.

69
00:03:02,059 --> 00:03:03,249
The question is,

70
00:03:03,249 --> 00:03:07,419
are you prepared to sit around and wait
for science to tell you that this is good?

71
00:03:07,419 --> 00:03:08,139
Naaah!

72
00:03:08,139 --> 00:03:09,139
Get in there!

73
00:03:09,139 --> 00:03:10,329
Boil up a kettle,

74
00:03:10,329 --> 00:03:14,059
have some fun with spices,
things like fennel seeds, cinnamon --

75
00:03:14,059 --> 00:03:17,799
You know, all these lovely spices
have got lovely micronutrients for sure!

76
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:19,599
Citrus... for sure!

77
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:20,809
Herbs... for sure!

78
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:22,979
So, let's have a little pour out --

79
00:03:25,399 --> 00:03:26,409
Delicious!

80
00:03:26,409 --> 00:03:32,059
Really, really, sort of comforting
and therapeutic, and undoubtedly,

81
00:03:32,469 --> 00:03:35,549
better for you than a whole load of
average drink you could have,

82
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:39,189
who can argue the good things
that factually are correct about this.

83
00:03:39,189 --> 00:03:41,049
But guys, I hope you liked this video,

84
00:03:41,049 --> 00:03:42,959
if you did, give us a little thumps up,

85
00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:44,010
but more importantly,

86
00:03:44,010 --> 00:03:46,244
I'm sure you guys have got 
some amazing ideas

87
00:03:46,244 --> 00:03:48,069
and let's share it on the community.

88
00:03:48,069 --> 00:03:52,090
So, what is your hot toddy
and your kind of herbal drink of choice?

89
00:03:52,230 --> 00:03:56,209
Please add it in the comment box below
and let's get this thread going,

90
00:03:56,209 --> 00:03:58,319
and I'll pick some out,
I'm going to give it a look

91
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,850
and I'm going to make it another day,
and we'll keep this going.

92
00:04:00,850 --> 00:04:02,730
I think this is a really,
really lovely way

93
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:04,570
to start or finish the day,

94
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:05,790
and also, most importantly,

95
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:09,829
it's a very creative way
to have fun with flavors.

96
00:04:09,829 --> 00:04:12,649
Guys, take care, lots of love. Bye!

97
00:04:13,189 --> 00:04:14,569
