A warming digestive ritual

You’ll need:

  • 1 tsp dried dandelion root or leaf

  • 1 tsp dried chamomile

  • 3–4 thin slices fresh ginger

  • A tiny pinch of cayenne

  • 1 cup hot water

  • Fresh lemon slice or 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Optional: ½–1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup

How to make it:

  1. Add dandelion, chamomile, ginger, and cayenne to a mug or teapot.

  2. Pour over hot (not boiling) water.

  3. Cover and steep for 8–10 minutes.

  4. Strain, then add lemon.

  5. Sweeten lightly if desired. Sip slowly.

Ritual note:
This is a tea I make when my body feels heavy or unsettled. It’s not about flavor perfection—it’s about listening inward, warming from the inside out, and letting your system reset gently.
