This immune-boosting herbal tea is a simple, soothing infusion designed to support the body during times of stress, fatigue, or seasonal illness. Made with fresh ginger, turmeric, saffron, mint, and lime, it focuses on reducing chronic inflammation, which plays a key role in immune system balance.

Ginger and turmeric are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties and have been used traditionally to support immunity, digestion, and circulation. Chronic inflammation can interfere with normal immune function, so calming inflammatory pathways is an essential foundation for long-term health. Turmeric is particularly valued for its curcumin content, while ginger supports both immune response and gut comfort.

Saffron, although optional, adds potent antioxidant compounds and further anti-inflammatory support. Fresh mint helps soothe the throat and may ease congestion, while lime provides a natural source of vitamin C and brightens the flavour of the infusion.

Because this tea is an infusion rather than a blended drink, it is naturally very low in calories and sugar, making it suitable for those following a blood-sugar-friendly or anti-inflammatory lifestyle. It can be sipped throughout the day and refilled several times, allowing the beneficial plant compounds to continue releasing gently into the water.

This herbal tea fits perfectly within an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, supporting immune resilience, gut health, and overall well-being. It’s an easy, nourishing ritual to add to your daily routine whenever your body needs extra support.

Ingredients

  • 5 cm fresh ginger root
  • 2–3 cm fresh turmeric root
  • 1 lime
  • A pinch of saffron threads (optional)
  • A small handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Hot Water

Directions

  1. Roughly slice the ginger and turmeric (no need to peel, just rinse well). Cut the lime in half.

  2. Place the ginger, turmeric, lime, mint, and saffron into a French Press, a teapot, or a heatproof jug.

  3. Pour over hot water (not boiling), then add the French Press lid if using, or cover.

  4. Allow to steep for 5–10 minutes.

  5. Slowly press the plunger down. You may wish to strain the tea if you aren’t using a French Press.

  6. Serve warm.

Serving Tips

You can refill the pot 1–2 times with hot water.

Storage Tips

Consume immediately or sip throughout the day. Discard after 12 hours.
