Life is stressful. Life since we found ourselves thrust into a seemingly unending game of Jumanji — well, it’s kind of been insane. Right now, myself included, we are all struggling with constant changes. Some of those changes are last minute, like school, that leave us scrambling to adapt as quickly as possible. Of course, as adults and parents, we are expected to pull it like a superhero. Makeup still perfectly in place, dinner on the table at six, and a spotless home that looks like we have a live in housekeeper.

Unfortunately, the reality is that stress wears on us. And that stress can affect everything from our immune and digestive systems, to how we cope. And we legit need to cope in the best way possible. Even if we want to crawl under the blankets and hide until next year. One way to help us cope with stress is through the use of adaptogens. Tulsi, like CBD, is an adaptogenic herb which can help our bodies better cope with stress. However, unlike CBD, it’s an affordable way to help our bodies get additional nutritional support, while also enjoying a cup of relaxing tea!

Why work with Ginger and Tulsi? Ginger is a kitchen classic. This spicy root is a favorite of cooks, herbalists, and spice enthusiasts around the globe.

This tuber will warm you from the inside while settling your stomach and supporting your immune system.

Tulsi is an Ayurvedic herb that will bring the sacred into your mug! Also called Holy Basil, Tulsi has been used in culinary concoctions and folk remedies alike. Like most common basils, Tulsi is both green and spicy. Tulsi is adaptogenic, meaning it helps the body adapt to stress and boost energy (a must for all of us!). This Indian powerhouse plant contains volatile oils that have been shown to combat respiratory ailments, helping ease allergies, asthma and the flu. This tasty herb also has been known to soothe indigestion, making it the perfect partner for ginger.

Tulsi Ginger Tea Recipe

What You’ll Need:

8 fluid oz. Hot Water
1 Teaspoon dried Tulsi Leaves
2 Nickel-Sized Chunks of Fresh Ginger Root
Honey, to suit

A Guide to Brewing Tulsi Tea with Ginger as a Way to Unwind:

Put your Tulsi leaves and Ginger chunks into a tea ball, tea bag, or strainer, and place it in your favorite mug.

Now fill a kettle with water. Heat on the stove until it boils. (This is a great chance to squeeze in a chapter on your current book or listen to some music!)

Once the water boils, pour the hot water over your tea and into your mug. Cover the mug with a lid to trap in the volatile oils from the Tulsi as it steeps.

Steep the tulsi ginger tea for 5-7 minutes.

Then, remove the tea and compost the herbs. Add honey to your preferred sweetness, and stir to combine.

Sip the tea slowly. Take this time to enjoy your tulsi ginger tea as a moment of respite and relaxation.

Optional: Pour over ice to enjoy chilled.
