So what are some of the healthy drinks you make at home? Recently I've been making tea with Tumeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, fresh ginger, honey. In addition to my green tea that I have every morning (with a little milk).

( I also make some other drinks but before I add those items I'll wait to see if this thread gets obliterated by trolling or if members actually participate).

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

i love ginger tea with honey.

• i always make iced tea at home instead of buying the industrial stuff. ie with lemongrass or lemon balm? dunno if this is the correct word in english :lol:

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

Try Japanese matcha tea, it's the business.

Has to be the expensive pure powder form, there's loads of supermarket brands claiming to sell it but really it's like 1% mixed with regular green tea.

You boil lemongrass basically? or how do you make it?

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

[QUOTE=floridaorange;1191339]You boil lemongrass basically? or how do you make it?[/QUOTE]

you can do it, but i usually make mint tea and then put some lemon/lime, mint leafs, lemongrass cut in halves + ice cubes and little sugar or agave syrup into the can. then in the fridge for some hours..

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

hey guys. figured i'd chip in. i usually make a gallon of this each week and drink 16oz of it in the morning before i eat/drink anything. very healthy for you:

2 fresh squeezed lemons 2 cups cranberry concentrate (unsweetened) 2 cups aloe vera juice half cup of Bragg apple cider vinegar stevia (or honey) to taste r/o filtered water

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

[QUOTE=Garrick;1191462] half cup of Bragg apple cider vinegar [/QUOTE]

^^Liquid gold. Unfiltered ACV is so good for you.

I usually take a couple of tablespoons daily. If i remember, one in the A.M. one in the P.M....or just a shot before bed.

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

yep, it is great stuff. i also usually take a teaspoon of turmeric with a dash of black pepper daily.

Re: Healthy elixirs and stuff

That sounds healthy as hell G. I have a similar approach in terms of not minding drinking healthy homemade recipes that taste like utter shite, but are so good for you they taste good... most people I know though could never!
