Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 1 bag Green tea (Provides calming antioxidants to help manage stress.)
  • 1 bag Chamomile tea (Known for its soothing properties; enhances relaxation.)
  • 1 tsp Dried chamomile flowers (Optional, but enhances the floral notes in your drink.)
  • 1 cup Water (The essential base that brings all the flavors together.)

Flavor and Sweetener

  • 1/2 whole Lemon (Juice adds a fresh, zesty touch that brightens the drink.)
  • 1 inch Grated turmeric (A natural anti-inflammatory that boosts health and flavor.)
  • 1 inch Grated fresh ginger (Offers a spicy kick and further aids digestion.)
  • 1 tsp Honey (Sweetens the drink naturally; feel free to adjust to taste.)

Serving

  • Ice cubes (Cool down your cocktail for a refreshing finish.)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Start by boiling 1 cup of water until it’s steaming hot to prepare a fresh tea infusion.
  2. Steep Tea: Place both the green tea bag and chamomile tea bag into a heatproof container, then pour the hot water over them. Let the teas steep for 5 minutes to release their flavors and calming properties.
  3. Remove Tea Bags and Strain: Carefully remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea along with the dried chamomile flowers to ensure a smooth drink.
  4. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the tea mixture to add a bright, zesty freshness.
  5. Grate Turmeric and Ginger: Grate 1 inch each of fresh turmeric and ginger directly into the drink, contributing anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits along with a flavorful kick.
  6. Sweeten to Taste: Add a teaspoon of honey to naturally sweeten the cocktail. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Let It Sit: Allow the cocktail to sit for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the beneficial compounds infuse further.
  8. Prepare Ice Cubes: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes to chill your drink.
  9. Pour Cocktail: Pour the infused mixture over the ice cubes, making sure your cocktail is nicely chilled and refreshing.
  10. Enjoy: Sip and savor the invigorating and calming effects of your Cortisol Cocktail to revitalize your day.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of honey to suit your preferred sweetness level or substitute with a sweetener of choice for dietary needs.
  • Fresh turmeric and ginger can be substituted with powdered forms, but fresh is recommended for maximum flavor and health benefits.
  • The optional dried chamomile flowers add a deeper floral note but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, garnish with a lemon slice or a small sprig of fresh chamomile.
  • This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before serving chilled.
