This Chamomile + Ginger Tea recipe has been so helpful! I just got back from Jakarta, where I taught two, five hour workshops. It was so fun teaching! But I spoke a lot. And I was in a new environment – from open nature to city air. And my throat and voice suffered! By the end of the class, I sounded like a eighty year old chain smoker. Here’s what I’m drinking to recover….

This tea was prescribed to me by a local Balinese woman where I live here in Bali.  She was working behind the counter at the grocery shop, and the moment she hears me speak to place an order – she comes to me “Are you sick, are you okay?” It was such genuine concern, people here are so special. 

She starts telling exactly what I need to do to heal ” you need to drink warm water and ginger…”

And let me tell you, the minute I got home – that’s exactly what I did. Like doctor’s orders.

I also decided to add in some chamomile. Here’s why: In researching for the Spring Guidebook, I’ve been learning about chamomile and what an incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory it is. And when you’re throat is inflamed and irritated – that’s what you need. So we get the combination of that ginger to suppress the cough and the chamomile to soothe a raspy, irritated throat.

And it tastes delicious. I’d happily drink this just to kick back and enjoy it!

So if you ever need to recover your voice, I hope you give this tea a try! That woman at the grocery store was a godsend – and I hope this recipe brings you relief too.

Because when there’s something that you’re doing, that you give every drop of yourself to – wether it’s your home, your family, your work – or all of the above – you need to take care of  yourself or you won’t have enough to give.

My voice held up just enough to make it to the end of the workshop – but next time I’m going to sip on this before, during and after!

So go make make some of this tea, and keep giving it your all.
