🫖Food as Medicine: Recovery Tea Overtrained, beat up from intense workouts, or fighting off a bug? This pot of tea helps calm inflammation, support immunity, and settle your stomach. One-Pot Recipe (makes 4–5 cups — drink throughout the day): • Large handful fresh mint leaves (about 15–20 leaves) • 2 tsp turmeric powder • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper • 2–3 tsp real honey (add to taste after brewing) • Juice of 2 lemons • 3-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced or grated → Add everything (except honey & lemon juice) to 1 liter of almost-boiling water. → Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes. → Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and honey. Why each ingredient helps recovery: • Mint → soothes digestion & bloating • Turmeric + black pepper → strong anti-inflammatory combo (pepper increases absorption dramatically) • Ginger → reduces nausea, fights inflammation, aids circulation • Lemon → vitamin C + antioxidants for immune support • Honey → natural antibacterial, calms sore throat & cough
