Ayurvedic Christmas Chai (Tea) 🎄🫖
In wintertime, this tea provides a multitude of benefits. A mix of cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, star anise, and cloves offers powerful antioxidants, boosts immunity, aids digestion, reduces inflammation, and supports heart/brain health, thanks to compounds like cinnamaldehyde and polyphenols. This blend helps fight infections, improve blood sugar control, ease nausea and aid digestion, and potentially regulate hormones, making it a warming, holistic drink.
It also tastes great and makes a lovely Christmas present for tea lovers 🎁
