Tea can be just brewed, or it can be delicious. One of the simplest but most effective methods of making it is to add all kinds of herbs and spices. For example, a truly magical drink is tea with ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves. These wonderful spices make the drink tastier, more aromatic and help the body fight against colds and flu. The consumption of these spices significantly reduces the risk of disease. Even if a person is already sick, these spices will help to recover faster. It is important to consider that spices have virtually no side effects. When using them, you only need to take into account the quality, age of a person, individual tolerance, health status, and a tendency to allergic reactions.
Note that ginger root has a positive effect on the circulatory system, accelerates the blood and strengthens the immune system. Cardamom gives a special refreshing taste, calms the nervous system and warms the body. Cloves are just as useful. It promotes weight loss, normalizes cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Nutmeg, in turn, gives a stunning unusual aroma and taste to the drink. It invigorates and energizes.
