This tea mainly tastes like ginger, which I love, but also includes powerful pain-fighting herbs such as turmeric and lemongrass. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or herbalist, if this helps you feel better, that’s awesome, but this tea is not meant to replace your medication or your health practitioner’s advice. I wanted to make something delicious and healing for myself, and of course, share it online with my followers. Feel free to change up the ingredients as desired, or add a sweetener of your choice.
