An amazing healthy tea recipe to keep your body resilient and strong.

This healthy tea RECIPE is also safe for pregnancy as well. A great tea for both men and women who are looking to find a tea that nourishes their bodies.

My Story

Through all my pregnancy, there’s a few things I’ve done to keep myself healthy and strong. One, drink lots of water! Not only does water keep you hydrated but it also helps form the amniotic fluid around the fetus. Water also helps nutrients circulate in the body and helps waste leave the body. 

I’ve never been a big fan of plain water, and I always have a hard time digesting it alone. I don’t recommend nor do I drink juice during my pregnancies because its high in sugar, BUT I do make this herbal healthy tea recipe that has goji berries, Chinese red dates, and Chinese yam (Rhizoma Dioscoreae).

This post is all about healthy tea recipe!

Why This Tea is Amazing!

I truly believe this homemade healthy tea recipe helped me deliver two healthy babies, and restored my anemia during and after my pregnancies. The best healthy tea I love making for myself and others. Here are some reasons why you should too:

• Energy booster: When I feel tired and feel like I need a cup of coffee, I make this nourishing healthy tea instead. I drink half a liter of it, and I pop right back up with energy, minus the caffeine high.
• Great for pregnancy: feeling fatigued, low energy, and experiencing brain fog is normal when you're pregnant. This healthy tea recipe will help eliminate all that and gives you back more energy and supplement that is essential for you and your baby.
• Great for everyone: I should also add that this tea is not just for pregnant women, this tea is great for everyday drink for everyone. It’s a great tea to stay healthy and strong!

Whether I am sick or under the weather, I often recourse back to Chinese medicine. I always believe that food is medicine, so naturally I never liked anything that is packed in a pill.

What gave me confidence about this healthy tea recipe to drink is that this recipe was passed to me by my Chinese doctor. I definitely think it works, and even after my pregnancy, this is a drink I often make to give my body something nutritional.

Ingredients

Goji Berries

Goji berries are considered one of the healthy food to eat during pregnancy. In China, it's customary to add goji berries to soups for pregnant women. the nutritious fruit helps you get rid of a dry cough, dizziness, and lower back pain while expecting. 

Goji berries promote good growth and development of your fetus. In addition, goji berries help treat morning sickness, support prenatal development of the fetus, reduce cholesterol, boost hemoglobin, cure constipation, and promote good sleep. Make sure you don’t take too many and eat in moderation.

Chinese Red Date

These dates are considered to be one of the healthiest fruits in the world. In the Chinese culture, these red dates are considered highly valued as a food, medicine, and health tonic. Red dates are great for pregnant women especially those who are anemic because they tonify blood deficiency. It aids digestion and absorption of food.

Chinese Yam

As your pregnancy continues, the bones will become more soft and agile for the grand finale of delivering the baby. Chinese yam helps aid healthy bones. The taste of the yam is considered to be very neutral-tasting, in fact, I find there’s no taste to them at all. During the first trimester when your appetite is low, Chinese yam can help aid low appetite.

My Travel Buddy

I personally bring this healthy tea with me everywhere I go. I guess there's a reason I never carry a purse because my 1L of this nourishing tea will never fit in a Coach bag! I bring this tea everywhere I go, especially when I am traveling. I don’t bring water, I bring this super healthy nourishing tea with me. 

Great Fact: The longer the herbs sit in the bottle, the more flavour and nutritional essences are extracted. The golden colour of this tea is spectacular to glaze into and I love watching the berries and herbs float around like it is nobody’s business.

I love using the Weck 1L Juice Jar. What I like is that it is glass and for the lid, you have two choices of either plastic or wood. They are stylish and large enough to hold all my hot drinks!

Sugar

I normally don’t add sugar to the tea. I feel like it doesn’t need it. The subtle honey taste of the Chinese dates already gives it enough sweetness to my liking. However, for any reason you want it to be sweeter, I do recommend honey and nothing else.

Temperature Recommendation

I also would recommend you to drink this when it is warm and never cold!

 Every human body is made up of yin elements and yang elements. A person remains healthy when the yin and yang are balanced. However, if the yang gets too strong, the body’s internal temperature rises, and that person becomes susceptible to any number of illnesses.

To treat these illnesses, the person must get rid of the extra yang, or the excess heat. The best way to do so is by consuming food and drinks in the yin category. Hot water, for example, is a yin beverage. It is believed to lower the body’s internal temperature. It restores the balance and, with it, the person’s health.
