Lemon Ginger Tea

  Made with a bold, slightly spicy flavor profile thanks to the ginger root, this homemade lemon ginger tea is sweetened with   honey   and balanced with a touch of lemon and turmeric for the ultimate soothing hot drink. Super quick and easy to make, it’s commonly used to help fight colds and infections when you’re feeling under the weather. If you need a boost, try this tea along with things like  Greek Lemon Chicken Soup  or  Easy Mediterranean Chickpea Soup  and whatever ails you doesn’t have a chance. Lemon ginger tea is great for when you’re sick and a little immunity boost. Like my  Hibiscus Tea  in the summertime, I drink lemon ginger tea just to relax or to warm up on a chilly day. The comforting warmth and bright flavors in this homemade fresh ginger tea are a great way to end (or even begin) the day! Lemon Ginger Tea | The Mediterranean Dish

The  rice  has been fortified with the micronutrient catechin, and the researchers behind it say it can provide the health benefits of tea without any side effects from caffeine. “Catechins, as key antioxidant components in tea plants with high content, offer certain benefits to human health,” the team said in a paper published in the peer-reviewed Plant Biotechnology Journal in March. 2-metre ‘giant rice’ twice as tall as other varieties nearly ready for first harvest in China Catechin flavonoids are a type of polyphenol – micronutrients that occur naturally in plants – shown to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and cardioprotective properties.
