The Most Energizing Tea to Replace Your Coffee: Full Recipe & Guide
I went from being a coffee addict in the morning to not even having a craving for it even when I see it. The funny thing is I never cared to kick my coffee habit out of my life. It just happened when I started drinking tea and hot water religiously in the morning and at night. It started with drinking turmeric and lemon tea before my coffee when I felt like I needed to clear any morning congestion, but when I learned and tried cayenne into the mix, it completely changed how my energy levels felt. The boost of energy I get from this tumeric, lemon, cayenne (TLC) tea is everything my body needed when I was feeding it coffee. So naturally my cravings for coffee went away and now when I need a boost of energy (which isn’t everyday) I make my cup of TLC. Besides being a great energy booster, it’s packed with so many other benefits like lower congestion that you’ll see listed below!
