Bedtime Healing Turmeric + Ginger Tea

A healing + restorative tea to reward yourself with self-love at the end of a long f*cking day.

Bedtime Healing Turmeric-Ginger Tea.

Hot tea is my nightly ritual. Silly enough, it feels like a ‘reward’ for a day completed. Scratch that - a reward after a hard, f*cking day completed. I think no matter how smoothly your day goes, as a mom, or any human who is part of the crazy rat-race of life, we feel depleted at the end of the day. So of course this is often the time of day which we all look forward to. The peace, the quiet, the rest, the Instagram or TikTok scroll, a book, a new episode of 'This Is Us' or something totally random on Netflix. But before I get lost in trying to 'lose myself' in whatever relaxation method I've chosen, I make myself a tea. It forces me to be a bit mindful and selfish for a few moments as I make my tea and it forces me to slow down from the busy day. It feels nourishing and it feels like a treat.

I try to consciously put some ‘love’ when I make myself a tea - and each time I reach for my cup for a sip I feel a sense of gratitude. Perhaps this happens when we simply get to enjoy the things we ‘make from scratch’ or perhaps it because after a long day of living as human in this chaotic world, a cup of warm tea full of ingredients that will combat the stresses we’ve endured throughout the day, gives us a sense of wellness and love. And I think we all need a bit of daily self-love. Scratch thats...A LOT of daily self-love.

This Bedtime Healing Turmeric Ginger Tea is full of the wonderful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of turmeric and ginger. This tea is healing and restorative and helps aide with digestion from your last meal. But also for me it’s my cure for my sugar craving that usually starts creeping around at this time of night.

It's so super simple and easy to make. Like for real simple, not like I'm a super-chef and it only has 23 ingredients kind of 'simple'. It has two ingredients, turmeric and ginger. But feel free to add anything else if you're feeling fancy!
