Moringa Mint Tea / Fresh Moringa leaves steeped with fresh mint, letting sit for a couple hours to really get all the minerals and nutrients into the water from these amazing leaves. Sweeten lightly with raw honey if desired. Moringa has a really interesting flavor when fresh / raw… I like it best when combined with other flavors. This tea turns a beautiful pale chartreuse color that feels ultra summery. ☀️.

Moringa is one of the best herbs to reduce inflammation (think allergies, arthritis, pain, acne, chronic illnesses), it’s also a great energy and immune booster as it can stabilize blood sugar levels and help your liver metabolize and detox better. Optimal blood sugar + less liver stress = more pep in your step. It’s traditionally been used as a remedy for so many ailments in Eastern countries - it’s so cool to see it grown here by our local farmers for us all to enjoy! Go find some at the @texasfarmersmarket 💚.

Whoa. It’s been a doozy at my house the past 2 days with stomach virus. None of us escaped it! Hydration is sometimes your only & best strategy for these times. I made a garlic-ginger-lemonade for us all this morning - something soothing and healing to drink that will gently combat pathogens. The kids and I will drink this cup by little cup until our appetites come home. Making a garlic infusion like this is great for viral or bacterial bugs - whether it be respiratory or digestive. 💛

Garlic- Ginger- Lemonade: Mince 2 large cloves of fresh garlic and place them in pitcher. Add 5 slices fresh ginger. Fill the vessel with boiling water and cover for 30 minutes. Strain out the garlic & ginger, and to the liquid add the juice of 1 ½ whole lemons. Sweeten to taste with honey (~ 1 tbsp more or less to taste). Serve warm and offer as much to the “patient” as they will drink. :)
