Greetings and blessings to all those hivens of the Amazing Drinks community, lovers of healthy drinks, which help us to strengthen our body every day.
When I talk about how little I know about healthy beverages, I'm talking about every sip you take, which is a small decision we make when we think about our bodies. What if I told you that these simple decisions, as simple as drinking any type of beverage, have a huge impact on our energy, mood and long-term health?
Today we are living in a world full of choices, and the fridge in any supermarket or grocery store proves it, but today there is one of the many options that takes us beyond simply quenching our thirst, to consuming one of the many beverages that help us live a fuller and more vibrant life.
That is why in the garden of my mother's house with whom I live, there is always a medicinal plant, which helps us at the time of an emergency, I thank God that at the time of COVID-19, it was a blessing for the whole family and neighbors.
I am going to share with you a healthy drink that I consume when I am fasting and before going to sleep, it is helping me to reduce my abdomen that is a little bulging, causing me discomfort, all this is my fault for neglecting my diet and the drinks I consume.
7 bay leaves
a cinnamon stick
5 hibiscus leaves
500 ML of water
Quick and easy to prepare
The first thing I do is to bring the 500 ML of water to the stove, when it starts to boil as a second step I add the bay leaves.
As the third step, I wait for the water to boil and then add the cinnamon stick which I cut into pieces, it is a little stronger, then I waited about two minutes for it to continue cooking, and then as the fourth step I added the Jamaica flowers and waited about five more minutes and turned it off.
As the fifth and sixth step, I turn off the stove and cover the tea and then wait for it to rest for a few minutes.
Although the preparation of the tea is simple; But it also takes the steps of preparation, step seven and eight, I remove it from the pan to strain and then I pass it to a plastic container where I let it stand with its respective lid.
Finally last two steps the presentation and tasting, this rich tea, which I am taking before going to sleep, has no chemical additives 100% natural, since I prepare it at night, the rest I keep in the fridge to consume the next day.
