These tea recipes include herbs and spices that were prominent and popular for their health benefits in Ancient Greece.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the morning, consume warm, spicy herbs with bitter and astringent secondary flavours. Chai is a good choice, as is holy basil mixed with ginger and green or black tea. If you have congestion, try ginger tea with lemon, raw honey and 1\/2 teaspoon of cayenne. Alternatively, you can combine cinnamon, orange peel, cloves, ginger, cardamom, cardamom, liquorice, fennel, juniper and black pepper for an energy-filled day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At lunch, choose cool herbs with a sweet taste, as well as bitter and tangy undertones. If you are cold or weak, choose tea with ginger or holy basil. Lemon is a wonderful digestive tea. add mint if you feel bloated or have heartburn, and drink it at room temperature.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the late afternoon or early evening, drink tea with sweet, sour or salty flavours. The beneficial Vata tea is an excellent example, which includes liquorice, a small dose of ginger and cardamom.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before you go to bed, try chamomile, which is a soothing tea that will calm you down and prepare you for a peaceful, refreshing sleep. Alternatively, for lovers of complexity of flavour, I suggest blending fennel, chamomile, apple, cinnamon, ginger, nettle, cloves and orange peel to create a relaxing tea full of flavours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8975 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/grtraveller.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/pexels-koko-rahmadie-227908.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1189\" height=\"1611\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In general, try to avoid mixing honey with your hot tea and prefer to add it when your tea is at room temperature. This way, you get the most out of the beneficial properties of honey, as its nutrients remain intact. Finally, you can use molasses, maple syrup dates sugar as alternative sweeteners.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The common goal of both ancient Greek medicine and Indian Ayurveda is the balance between mind and body in order to achieve holistic well-being.
