Hibiscus Tea: Sadhguru's Spring-Summer Elixir

Sadhguru is known for providing simple, season-based recipes to keep the body calm and energized. This Hibiscus Flower Tea recipe is perfect for March and April, as we move from spring to summer.

According to the Isha Foundation website, this beverage offers a healthy boost for the entire body. The tea is simple to prepare with readily available ingredients.

The Recipe: Ingredients and Method

Here's how to prepare Sadhguru's Hibiscus Flower Tea:

  • Ingredients: 1 cup dried hibiscus flowers, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 1/2 inch piece ginger, honey/palm jaggery to taste.

Method:

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Add hibiscus flowers, cinnamon stick, and ginger pieces.
  3. Boil for 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Longer steeping may result in a bitter taste.
  5. Strain the liquid, squeezing the cinnamon and ginger.
  6. Add honey or palm jaggery to taste.
  7. Serve hot or cold. For cold tea, cool completely before refrigerating.

Alternatively, use 2 tsp of cinnamon powder instead of a cinnamon stick. If so, strain the liquid with a cloth.

This tea can be served cold by refrigerating after step 4, garnished with mint or lemon.

Cinnamon's Benefits: A Closer Look

Cinnamon helps boost metabolism early in the day, aiding calorie burn and energy balance. The study 'Advances in pharmacological effects and mechanism of action of cinnamaldehyde' details the science behind it.

The study highlights that cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde. This compound helps burn calories to produce heat and improves glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity.

It also offers cardiovascular protection and helps regulate blood sugar levels. This prevents mid-morning energy crashes or sugar cravings.

What to Watch Next

Future research on hibiscus and cinnamon may reveal even more health benefits. Keep an eye out for updates on seasonal recipes and wellness tips from Sadhguru and the Isha Foundation.
