Hello beautiful people of AMAZING DRINKS! It has been a while since the last time I made a post in this awesome community. Hi to all Hiver’s! How was your day? Well here in my place it keeps raining all afternoon until dawn time. It has been a rainy season since last month of MAY. Before I went to the market in the afternoon to buy fresh fish and sea shells. Now I do it in the morning to avoid being caught by the rain. Since it is rainy days, we need to drink healthy Tea to boost our immune system to avoid getting sick like cold, fever and flu.
Let me share with you my Tea that I made to boost immunity to prevent sickness. I called this one Malunggay leaves( moringa Oliefera) Blue ternate flower and Ginger Tea. This Tea is from fresh picked and surely very effective and no preservative nor chemical added.
I remembered my great grandfather who died at 101 years old.He would asked me to picked some Malunggay leaves and digged some ginger in the backyard of his home. Then my great grand mother would cleaned, wash it and make into a Tea. This is what we would drink every afternoon after nap time and pair to a bread or any snack available in the house. At first I was hesitant to drink but my great grandfather explained to me the benefits of the Tea to our body, then I drank it.
Now that it keeps raining I remember How important to boost our immunity , so I made my version of this Tea but I added Blueternate flower into it. That way, it has more benefits for our body.
All we need are:
5 stalk of Malunggay Half inch of ginger 7 pieces of Blueternate flower One cup drinking water
PROCEDURE:
*First we need to pick fresh from the tree of Malunggay, Blueternate flower and since we have ginger already.
*Wash the Malunggay in a colander.
*Soaked the Blue ternate flower in water for ten minutes then drain the water.
*Wash and slice the ginger.
*In a small pot add one cup of water and bring it to boil.
*When boiled, add the sliced ginger. Simmer it for five minutes.
- Add the Malunggay or Moringa.
Simmer it for five to ten minutes or until the color of the water turns green.
Removed the pot from the fire.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to separate the tea.
*Transfer the Hot TEA to the serving tea cup.
*Add the Blue ternate flower to the hot tea in the cup and soaked it for Ten minutes.
- Remove the Blue ternate flower and enjoy your pure natural and very healthy TEA.
NOTE: YOU can add honey or a little sugar if you want. I do not add any sweetener to my tea and I am used to it already.
