Why Is This Tea Called A “Detox” Tea?

This tea is often referred to as a "Detox" tea due to the combination of ingredients that contribute to the body's natural detoxification processes. The inclusion of ginger and citrus fruits is believed to have properties that support cleansing and rejuvenating the body! Ginger is known for its potential detoxifying + anti-inflammatory properties, while citrus fruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that can aid in flushing out toxins.

Ingredients For Detox Tea

The ingredients for this detox tea are simple, and chances are, you already have them hanging out in your kitchen. Here's what you'll need:

DETOX TEA:

• Filtered water. The base for our tea-- A clean and pure foundation for all the vibrant flavors.
• Pears. Halved--Adds a natural sweetness and a subtle fruity note.
• Orange. Sliced, a burst of citrusy goodness
• Ginger root. Peeled + roughly chopped adding a warm + spicy kick.
• Lemon. Sliced, a bright and tangy flavor!
• Raw organic honey or maple syrup. I love using quality raw honey! Adjust based on the level of sweetness desired, maple syrup is a great vegan sweetener option!
• Fresh thyme sprigs. Optional, a hint of herbaceous freshness.

How To Make Healthy Citrus Pear Ginger Detox Tea

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add water and let it begin to boil. Once boiling, add the oranges, lemons, ginger root, grapefruit, and diced pears, and boil for 10-15 minutes.

After the 10-15 minute mark, turn off the heat and cover the mixture, allowing everything to steep for about 10-15 minutes to ensure that flavors are fully infused and potent. My absolute go-to for brewing tea on the stove is this trusty glass teapot — it's been my all-time favorite!

Once fully steeped, add in the sweetener and stir until well incorporated.

Pour tea carefully into mugs, and add the fruit from the pot as garnish if preferred. (More garnish ideas below)

Sip and enjoy!

Best Types of Pears for this Detox Tea Recipe

Even though this detox tea is based on using Bartlett pears, you can also switch things up and add a slightly new flare to it's flavor profile by adding any of the following pears for a bit more sweetness or tartness:

• Anjou --- They are squatty with a round bell shape, short neck, and thick stem. One of the most popular pears in the United States because of their long shelf life and versatility, they are basic, all-purpose pears, great for snacking, cooking, or baking.
• Bosc --- They are oblong with an elegant elongated neck and long curved stem. Also, considered juicy but crunchy and retain their flavor and shape when cooked or baked. 
• Forelle --- They are green and yellow with hints of pink. Also, they are considered to be very sweet, with a flesh that is slightly firmer than most other pears.
• Concorde --- They are juicy, with a vanilla-like flavor and smooth texture, these pears are crisp right after harvest and soften as they ripen. In addition, they hold both shape and flavor as they are naturally slow to oxidize after being cut. 

5 Benefits of Lemon + Ginger Together

IMPROVES COGNITIVE FUNCTION:

Yes, I know. I wasn’t aware of this either, however, lemon and ginger combined does wonders to our brains. Overall, they are great at soothing specific nerves and improving our mood. As a result, it allows us to think more clearly, and the antioxidant properties eliminates oxidative stress and helps to lower our chances of Alzheimers and dementia.

IMPROVES SKIN CARE:

When it comes to antioxidants and certain vitamins, we know that this obviously helps with skincare. However, when it comes to lemon and ginger combined, specifically, you are able to drink them together to improve your skin health or apply them topically to your irritated skin for healing.

Also, because of their antibacterial and antiviral properties, you can use both ingredients to prevent any infection of the skin.

HELPS WITH THE HEALTH OF YOUR HAIR:

While each ingredient has been used individually to help your overall hair health, combining them actually boosts your vitamin A and C, which helps to promote hair growth.

They both also help to reduce dry skin and dandruff naturally, so this is a great alternative to using specific products that may be overall harmful and not entirely natural.

HELPS TO RELIEVE PAIN:

When it comes to ginger specifically, which has its anti-inflammatory properties, it can also act as a pain reliever and helps your body recover from body pain, menstrual cramps, surgeries, and other illnesses.

So the next time you find yourself contemplating on whether to take another pain killer, try using ginger (tea specifically) as a natural home remedy.

CONTROLS DIABETES:

Ginger specifically, have been linked to keeping your blood sugar levels at bay, which is good for anyone who suffers from Diabetes. However, research shows that lemon also plays a great role in helping to control Diabetes as well.

The soluble fiber and Vitamin C in lemon helps to reduce your blood sugar levels, as well as blood pressure and cholesterol.

What Else Can I Add To This Detox Tea?

Although this tea is undoubtedly delicious as is, here are a few more ideas if you're looking to add an extra health boost:

• Mint leaves
• Turmeric/black pepper
• SeaMoss
• Apple cider vinegar
• Lemongrass
• Cinnamon

Can I Serve This Pear Detox Tea Cold + Iced?

Absolutely! This detox tea is versatile and can be enjoyed cold if that's more to your liking. After steeping, let it cool completely, transfer it to a sealed jar or pitcher, and refrigerate. Serve over ice when you're ready to enjoy a refreshing chilled version!
