The Ultimate Cayenne Pepper Tea Recipe: Benefits, Tips, And Flavor
Ingredients
- 1 cup of water
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper adjust according to your heat tolerance
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice freshly squeezed is preferred
- 1 teaspoon of honey optional, for sweetness
- A pinch of ground ginger optional, for added flavor and health benefits
Instructions
Boil The Water
- Start by boiling a cup of water. You can do this in a kettle or on the stove, whichever is most convenient for you.
Add Cayenne Pepper
- Once the water is boiling, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. If you’re new to cayenne, you might want to start with a smaller amount and adjust as you get accustomed to the heat.
Incorporate Lemon Juice And Optional Ingredients
- Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mix. Lemon juice not only adds a refreshing twist but also enhances the absorption of the health benefits of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a hint of sweetness to counterbalance the heat, stir in a teaspoon of honey. For an extra flavor and health boost, include a pinch of ground ginger.
Stir And Serve
- Give your tea a good stir to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined. Let it sit for a minute to allow the flavors to meld together and the beverage to cool down to a drinkable temperature.
