Description

This soothing cortisol tea combines potent adaptogens such as ashwagandha and ginger to support the body’s natural response to stress, ease tension, and promote relaxation with every comforting sip.


Ingredients

  • Herbal Base
    1 tsp dried organic ashwagandha root or use ½ teaspoon ashwagandha powder
    1.5 cups filtered water
  • Flavor & Benefits
    1 inch fresh ginger thinly sliced
    1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional, adjust to taste
    1 squeeze fresh lemon juice optional for brightness

Instructions

  1. Pour filtered water into a small saucepan. Add the ashwagandha root and sliced ginger. If using ashwagandha powder, add it now.
  2. Set over medium heat. Once it begins to gently boil, reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer gently: 10–15 minutes for root or 5 minutes for powder, allowing active compounds to release.
  4. Strain tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a mug, removing herb solids.
  5. Stir in honey or maple syrup and lemon juice if using. Mix well.
  6. Sip warm and relax. Best enjoyed in the evening or during quiet moments.
