Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (3–4 g) green tea leaves
- 1 tsp (2 g) grated fresh ginger
- ½ tsp (1 g) ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp (0.5 g) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (1 g) echinacea powder (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine honey, lemon juice, grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and echinacea powder in a mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a seamless, velvety texture.
- Prepare Molds: Select silicone molds with compact, uniform shapes, ensuring precise formation of tea bombs.
- Fill and Garnish: Carefully spoon the herbal mixture into each mold cavity, evenly distributing the blend and delicately layering green tea leaves on top, gently pressing them to secure placement.
- Freeze and Set: Place the mold in the freezer, allowing the tea bombs to solidify completely for 90-120 minutes until they form a dense, compact structure.
- Store and Serve: Carefully extract the frozen tea bombs from the molds, transferring them to an airtight container. When ready to enjoy, drop a single bomb into a mug of steaming water, stirring until it completely dissolves, releasing its healing infusion.
Notes
- Measure Ingredients Precisely: Use exact measurements to maintain the perfect balance of healing herbs and ensure consistent flavor in every tea bomb.
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Select fresh, organic ginger, high-grade honey, and premium echinacea powder to maximize the tea’s medicinal properties and boost overall effectiveness.
- Prepare Silicone Molds Carefully: Clean and dry molds thoroughly before use to prevent moisture interference and ensure smooth tea bomb release after freezing.
- Control Freezing Conditions: Place tea bombs in the coldest part of the freezer, keeping them flat to maintain their shape and prevent potential cracking or uneven texture.
