Orange Tea with Cinnamon and Rosemary


Orange Tea with Cinnamon and Rosemary

Changing seasons mean big changes for our bodies.  As we trasition into fall we can help by supporting them with warming foods and herbs.  This drink is full of helpful warming herbs.  It is also a great way to add herbs in a practical way.

Ingredients

1 tea bag

2 Cinnamon Sticks

2 Twigs Rosemary

1 Orange, sliced

 

  Directions 

Place all ingredients in a mug.  Pour boiling water over and steep covered* for ten minutes.


You don't have to use just tea.  Try it in your coffee (I use this *), hot chocolate, or any tea of your choice.  You could even try it for mulled cider.

Why Cinnamon - it is tradritionally used for aiding digestion like indigestion, gas, and cramping.  It is also great for tooth pain and reducing inflammation.

Why Rosemary - it is great for memory.  As well as being an anti-inflammatory.  It is also one of the strongest herbal antioxidants.  

*You should always cover your tea when you are steeping it to keep all the good stuff in.  You don't want it evaporating out as it steeps. 

**I'm not affiliated with this product.  I just really like it.
