spiced persimmon turmeric tea
I recommend the use of only pure tea here. By that I mean no other flavor added. I used Lipton's Single Source Ceylon Tea however any good quality green or black that you like will work fine as long as your only tasting the tea as you're adding your own enhancements. In this tea ginger supports digestion, fragrant cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar and has anti-microbial properties, persimmons are a natural remedy for acid reflux and turmeric along with the black pepper has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
