After a demanding and exhausting week, I was exhausted last weekend. You know those nights when all you want instead of another cup of coffee or sugary drink is something cosy, soothing, and warm? I made this easy Anti-Inflammatory Lime Detox Tea for my family in precisely this manner.
To be honest, I didn’t initially have high expectations for it. Months ago, my cousin told me about the refreshing and calming effects of warm lime water with ginger after supper. One calm Saturday night, when everyone was unwinding at home, I finally made the decision to give it a try. Everyone enjoyed it as soon as we had a taste, and the fresh ginger and lime in the kitchen smelt fantastic.,,
