Gentle Detox Tea

January 1, 2024 | Drinks & Smoothies

This Gentle Detox Tea is great after the festive feasts. Enjoy some simple self-care with this nourishing and gently detoxifying cuppa.

After the festive feasts, let’s ease into the New Year with some simple self-care by way of a nourishing and gently detoxifying cuppa. Introducing my Gentle Detox Tea!

If you’re eager to get back on track and support your immune system, metabolism, and digestive health, this Gentle Detox Tea fits the bill.

I make this delicious and easy herbal remedy with the goodness of Barnes Naturals Apple Cider Vinegar and their Manuka Honey – two staples in my kitchen!

Added to the herbal tea of your choice this is THE perfect way to start the day, or drink all day! I’m completely hooked. I’ve used many different herbal teas (peppermint, ginger, chamomile, green tea) but my absolute favourite herbal tea base is the Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice Tea (available at all the major supermarkets) – it’s an incredible blend of cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and more and pairs beautifully with the ACV and manuka.

Health benefits of this Gentle Detox Tea

Here’s just *some* of the reasons I love Barnes Naturals Certified Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV):

✅  ACO certified organic

✅  It’s raw, unrefined and unpasteurised

✅  Contains no artificial colours or flavours

✅ Made with cold-pressed, naturally fermented apples

✅ Retains the ‘Mother’ enzyme for added benefits

✅ Suitable for vegetarians AND it’s vegan-friendly

Other ways to enjoy ACV besides my Gentle Detox Tea

If you don’t want to make the Detox Tea you can add it into your daily routine via a 15ml shot or dilute in warm water for a morning boost.

Or, add a splash to sparkling water for some zing or use it in recipes, dressings, and marinades for a healthy twist. We even have it over roasted potatoes, it’s so delicious.

What strength of Manuka to choose

For the detox tea, I’ve paired it with MGO550+ Barnes Manuka Honey for an added layer of immune support. But feel free to choose your preferred strength! 🍯

We keep various strengths on hand at all times in our house for year-round wellness, immune health support, and of course to elevate drinks, desserts, dressings and more with its incredible flavour.

You can find Barnes Naturals Manuka and ACV at Chemist Warehouse, available behind the counter (or as I like to buy it, in bulk and online which is easier and more cost effective!).

Ingredients

  • 1 herbal tea bag
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Manuka honey – or a quality raw honey
  • 1 lemon/s – slice
  • sea salt – tiny pinch, optional

Method

  • Steep the herbal tea bag in a mug or cup of boiling water for a few minutes (to allow it to cool down so its not piping hot).
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and mix.
  • Add the manuka honey, slice of lemon and sea salt and mix well. The sea salt is optional, but supports optimal hydration so I always add it.

Serve

  • Enjoy immediately.

    Having made your Immune Bombs and get them out of the freezer every time I feel a cold coming on, I was keen to try the gentle detox tea too. I was making fresh peppermint tea this morning, so that is what I used, but I really like your idea, Georgia, of the Bengal Spice Tea as that would really spice things up a bit (so that’s on the list for next time).
    I will be using this recipe on a regular basis as I am a fan of apple cider vinegar and love the idea of incorporating it into a drink with the other ingredients.
    This is a winner for me! Thanks Georgia.
