Glyco-Balance Blend

This unique tea blend combines the power of rosemary, cinnamon, turmeric, and black pepper.  These ingredients have been traditionally used to help manage blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support healthy digestion – all important factors for those managing diabetes.

Brewing Instructions:

1. Heat Water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil (212°F or 100°C). This high temperature is essential for extracting the full benefits of the spices, especially turmeric.
2. Measure Tea: Place 1-2 teaspoons of your loose leaf tea blend into a tea infuser, tea bag, or directly into your teapot.
3. Pour Water: Pour 8 ounces (1 cup) of the boiling water over the tea leaves.
4. Steep: Allow the tea to steep for 7-10 minutes. A longer steep time is recommended to fully extract the beneficial compounds, particularly from the turmeric root.
5. Strain (if necessary): If you didn't use an infuser or tea bag, strain the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into your cup.
6. Optional Additions:
   • A squeeze of lemon can enhance the flavor and provide additional vitamin C.
   • A small amount of honey or a natural sweetener can be added if desired.
   • A small amount of healthy fat, such as a teaspoon of coconut oil, can further enhance the absorption of the curcumin in the turmeric.
7. Enjoy: Sip slowly and savor the warm, spicy flavor.

Important Notes:

• Turmeric and Black Pepper: Remember that the black pepper is crucial for enhancing the bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric. So, make sure both are well blended in your tea.
• Consistency: For best results, drink this tea regularly as part of a balanced diet and exercise routine.
• Listen to Your Body: If you experience any discomfort, reduce the amount of tea or discontinue use.
• Storage: Store your loose leaf tea in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
