  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp echinacea powder (optional)
1 tbsp green tea leaves (or 1-2 green tea bags)
Silicone mold for shaping (small, round molds work best)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and echinacea powder (if using) until well combined.

Fill each mold with about 1 teaspoon of the mixture, then press the green tea leaves on top, filling each mold completely. For tea bags, cut open and use the loose tea leaves.

Freeze the molds for 1-2 hours, or until the tea bombs are solid.

Pop the tea bombs out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to use.

To make the tea, place one tea bomb in a mug and pour 1 cup of hot water over it. Stir until the bomb dissolves, and enjoy the soothing flavors.

Notes

Choose High-Quality Ingredients: For the most effective tea bombs, try to use organic honey, spices, and herbs. Fresh, high-quality ingredients contain more of the beneficial compounds you’re after.

Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Add a dash of clove powder for extra warmth or echinacea for an additional immune boost. You could also include dried orange peel for a hint of citrus.

Storage Tips: Store your tea bombs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They’ll last for up to two weeks in the fridge, making them perfect for flu season preparation.

Sweeten to Taste: If you’d like your tea a little sweeter, feel free to add extra honey or even a touch of maple syrup.

Adjust for Strength: If you prefer a stronger flavor, add more of the ginger, turmeric, or cinnamon. Or, for a milder tea, reduce the amount of these spices.

Make in Batches: These tea bombs are great to have on hand, so consider making a larger batch. This way, you’ll be prepared whenever you feel a cold coming on!
