GREEN TEA Green tea is great during the Reset as if contains some caffeine so can help with the caffeine withdrawals. It also contains epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin-3- gallate, and epigallocatechin-3-gallate, which have anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also boosts your metabolism aiding weight loss. You can consume it loose or as tea bags. Make sure that you don t fully boil the kettle, as it should be brewed at 80degrees Celsius for best flavour and to not spoil it s antioxidant benefits. MATCHA TEA Even more potent than green tea is Matcha Green Tea powder because the entire leaf is consumed. Add one scoop of Matcha powder to your cup, add a dash of water and whisk into a paste. Top with hot water at 80 degrees celcius (not boiling as it deactivates the antioxidants) and enjoy. MATCHA LATTE Alternatively you can make a delicious Matcha Latte by adding 1 scoop of matcha powder to a cup, add a drop of warm water and whisk. In a pan heat up some coconut or almond milk then pour over the matcha paste. Stir and serve immediately. HERBAL TEAS All varieties of herbal teas are permitted, especially beneficial are: Cinnamon tea for helping curb sugar cravings Liquorice tea for indigestion, acid reflux and aiding the liver to neutralise toxins. Do not use if you suffer with high blood pressure. Peppermint or fennel tea for digestion Chamomile tea for relaxation Dandelion Tea for detoxification Nettle tea for blood purification and detoxification
TURMERIC CINNAMON LATTE As well as adding turmeric to our food, turmeric makes a wonderful soothing drink. It s great for stomach upsets, colds, headaches or any aches and pains as it acts as a fantastic anti-inflammatory and pain relief. When mixed with other ingredients such as cinnamon, ginger, even cayenne pepper it makes for a wonderful powerful remedy. Always combine with black pepper to aid absorption. Add 1 heaped teaspoon of turmeric powder to a saucepan, add 1/2 cup of water and a generous pinch of black pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon honey and 1/2 teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil. Serve immediately. To save time you can make 5 times the amount of turmeric, cinnamon and black pepper. Add 1 cup of water, bring to the boil and reduce to a paste. Store in a jar in the fridge, taking out a heaped teaspoonful as required and mixing with hot almond or coconut milk. TURMERIC TEA 2cm piece of fresh turmeric thinly sliced (or use 1 tsp of ground turmeric or ready made paste as described above). 2-3 slices of fresh ginger. 1 slice of lemon. Pinch of ground black pepper. 1tsp of raw honey. Add all the ingredients to your favourite mug, cover with boiling water, stir and let it infuse for 10 minutes.
MACA HOT CHOCOLATE Maca is a fantastic food for balancing hormones, it has a lovely malty sweet taste and works beautifully in this hot chocolate. 1 tsp cacao 1 tsp maca 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup coconut milk Add all the powders to a mug with a little bit of the milk and whisk into a paste. Add the remaining milk to a pan and heat up. Pour the hot milk into the mug and whisk to make sure all the ingredients are well combined. I find the maca sweet enough, but you can add a little honey if needed. Enjoy as a warming drink morning or evening.
