Ah, this is one of those simple yet powerful home remedies that combines warming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant ingredients. When you mix cloves, ginger, and a Lipton (black tea) bag, you essentially get a natural remedy that supports digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. Here’s why it’s “worth gold” and how most people don’t use it correctly:
Why This Combo Works
1. Cloves
- Contain eugenol, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
- Supports oral health, digestion, and can reduce mild stomach discomfort.
2. Ginger
- Contains gingerols, which help fight inflammation, nausea, and cold symptoms.
- Boosts circulation and may help with mild joint pain or digestive sluggishness.
3. Black Tea (Lipton)
- Rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants that combat free radicals.
- Contains a small amount of caffeine to gently stimulate metabolism.
- The tannins in black tea can help soothe mild diarrhea or upset stomach.
How to Make the Golden Brew
Ingredients
- 1 Lipton black tea bag
- 3–4 whole cloves
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger (or ½ tsp ginger powder)
- 1 cup hot water
- Optional: honey or lemon for taste
Instructions
- Boil water and pour over the tea bag, cloves, and ginger.
- Steep for 5–7 minutes.
- Remove tea bag, cloves, and ginger pieces (or leave ginger for extra strength).
- Sweeten lightly with honey if desired.
- Drink 1 cup in the morning or evening.
Benefits People Miss
- Supports immunity and helps reduce mild cold or flu symptoms
- Aids digestion and reduces bloating
- Mild anti-inflammatory effect, useful for joints or general inflammation
- Can act as a gentle metabolism booster
💡 Pro Tip:
- Don’t drink multiple cups with added sugar; it reduces the health benefits.
- If you have stomach ulcers or acid reflux, ginger and cloves may aggravate symptoms—use lightly.
- Can be used daily as a warm, healthy ritual instead of sugary drinks.
