Combine these herbs in the following ratio to boost your immune system:
- 1 teaspoon Pau D’Arco tea
- 1 teaspoon Chuchuhuasi tea
- ½ teaspoon Chanca Piedra tea
- ¼ teaspoon Cat’s Claw tea
Add these herbs to four cups of water. In the morning, upon rising, heat this mixture in a small saucepan on the lowest heat with the lid on for approximately 1 hour. As the mixture simmers, the essence of each herb is extracted in higher concentrations and the flavor intensifies. Strain the tea into a glass jar. Glass is preferable because it retains the heat longer and the glass will not react to the herbs. Please note that Pau D’Arco is sweet; Chuchuhusasi and Chanca Piedra are mild and Cat’s Claw is quite bitter. Experiment with the ratios to find what best suits your personal preferences. Let the mixture cool to body temperature and ENJOY!
The recipe will makes 4 cups of tea.
Variations:
- After straining the tea, place a few raw cacao beans
into the tea. Raw cacao is actually raw chocolate. This will add a hint of chocolate flavor to the tea as well as add additional antioxidants contained in the cacao.
- After straining the tea, place a few goji berries
into the tea. This will add a hint of berry flavor to the tea as well as add additional antioxidants contained in the goji berries.
- To extract more of the healing elements of each food and to increase the taste of your tea, include the cacao beans, goji berries and/or a vanilla bean
before you start to heat the teas. (all of these ingredients are available here
)
- You can also use this wellness tea as a base for your smoothies. Yum!
- For each cup of tea, stir in 1 tablespoon of yacon root syrup
for an extra boost to the immune system without raising blood sugar levels. It is best to stir in the sweetener after the tea has cooled to body temperature.
- Take one capsule of Sunfood Nutrition Blue Mangosteen
capsules with your tea or stir in the contents of one capsule into (1) cup of strained tea. A powerful combination to help relieve inflammation.
- For a truly healing and energizing drink, combine two teaspoons of Sunfood Nutrition’s Sun is Shining™
superfood, one teaspoon of Sunfood Nutrition’s red maca (or for an extreme experience, substitute ½ teaspoon of Sunfood Nutrition’s Maca Extreme
) and one capsule of Sunfood Nutrition’s Blue Mangosteen – stir into each (1) cup of your tea blend. This will definitely cause you to have the best day ever!
