Spices: surprising ingredients
The word spice is one of those terms whose meaning has evolved greatly over time. Etymologically, it comes from the Latin species, which means quite broadly a commodity, even a commodity. But in its most common use, the spice is used to flavor dishes or drinks, to which it brings a flavor that is both powerful and subtle. Spices can come from various parts of plants: from their bark to their roots, including their leaves or their seeds. Requiring a lot of sun, they are mainly grown in tropical regions. Definitely quite surprising, the spices go perfectly well with tea!
Tea and spices, a tasty alliance
Fall and winter are ideal seasons for enjoying spiced teas. Firstly, because spices give us that little boost of energy which encourages us to fight against falling temperatures and shorter days. Then, because these mixtures go particularly well with winter, gourmet or simmered dishes. Finally, spiced teas are often synonymous with a festive atmosphere, moments of sharing around a good snack or by the fire. Certain spices fulfill these three criteria perfectly!
Ginger tea
This is the case of ginger, which has the particularity of being cultivated for its “rhizome”, that is to say its root. Dried and crushed, the ginger rhizome turns out to be truly tasty. In addition, ginger tea provides many benefits. The antioxidants in ginger and tea combine to revitalize the body. Ginger tea is ideal for introducing yourself to spicy teas. Did you know? It also goes very well with cinnamon.
Cinnamon tea
We must mention the essential cinnamon, which comes from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree, a shrub resembling a laurel. Cinnamon tea also has good virtues. Beyond its antioxidants, cinnamon contains compounds with properties related to insulin. It would thus potentially be favorable to the fight against diabetes. We can applaud.
Cardamom tea
Less known, but just as delicious, cardamom is also a rhizome plant. It also belongs to the same family as ginger. However, it is not its root that is used, but its pods, which contain very fragrant seeds. Full of flavors, cardamom tea will also surprise you with its health benefits. It would thus effectively relieve pain in the mouth and throat. It would also bring freshness to the breath.
Anise tea
Finally, green anise harmoniously adds flavor to tea blends: anise, an aromatic plant of which we use both the leaves and the seeds, with such a characteristic taste. Anise tea stimulates the digestive glands and fights bloating. Anise helps clear mucus obstructing the respiratory tract. Find these four excellent ingredients in Kusmi Tea’s spiced teas.
