No-Stress Turmeric Tonic Tea

A golden cup of anti-inflammatory goodness

This is a delightful anti-inflammatory tea to help jump-start your morning and wake up the gut and kidneys. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent companion to calming and rejuvenative herbs. In this tea, turmeric is paired with the polysaccharide-rich adaptogens like eleuthero, ashwagandha, and astragalus for a soothing and restorative touch.

Directions

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for about 10 seconds. You can also opt for a hand blender or milk frother. Sweeten to taste with the sweetener of your choice. Pour and enjoy immediately!

Author Note:

I always suggest making your own nut milk. It’s so easy and a lot healthier for you. Nut milk with zero fillers is a healthy fat and a clean protein that’s actually anti-inflammatory. Take a few extra minutes and load up your fridge with these healthy milks; this way you’ll have the best carrier for your medicines!
