Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon green tea leaves (or contents of ½ green tea bags)
Spices and Herbs:
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional Ingredient:
- ½ teaspoon echinacea powder (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and echinacea powder in a small mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- Select silicone molds with compact shapes, preferably round or small geometric designs that will create uniform tea bombs.
- Carefully transfer the herbal mixture into each mold cavity using a teaspoon, ensuring even distribution and minimal spillage.
- Delicately sprinkle green tea leaves across the surface of each filled mold, creating a decorative and flavorful top layer.
- Gently press the tea leaves into the herbal mixture, securing them in place and preventing them from scattering during freezing.
- Transfer the silicone mold to the freezer, allowing the tea bombs to solidify completely for approximately 90-120 minutes.
- Remove the frozen tea bombs from the molds and arrange them in an airtight container, maintaining their structural integrity and preventing freezer burn.
- When craving a soothing beverage, drop a single tea bomb into a mug of steaming hot water, stirring until the bomb dissolves and releases its therapeutic essence.
Notes
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly version that keeps the same sweet healing properties.
- Use loose green tea leaves for a more intense flavor and better nutrient absorption, ensuring maximum health benefits.
- Select silicone molds with smaller cavities to create compact, easy-to-dissolve tea bombs that melt quickly in hot water.
- Store tea bombs in a sealed freezer bag with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking and maintain their delicate shape.
