Cranberry Citrus Antioxidant Tea | Natural Beauty Boost

Makes tea for two | 30 mins For a superfood burst of flavour and antioxidants This gorgeous ruby and aromatically spiced tea made with fresh cranberries and citrus is perfect for Spring. It’s not only cheerful and cooling, it’s caffeine-free too - so all kids, and kids at heart, can join in the fun. A much-loved staple for Thanksgiving in the Northern Hemisphere, I’ve re-imaged the recipe as the perfect tonic and delicious iced tea in the our warmer months. BEAUTY BOOST A powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory tonic, this Cranberry Citrus Antioxidant Tea helps prevent cell damage by free radicals and boosts the immunity to protect against a wide range of winter aliments. It also has stress-relieving properties to help to relieve tension and stress. BEAUTY BITE A year round superfood, cranberries contain a high nutrient and antioxidant content and are an excellent source of vitamin C, fibre, vitamin E, vitamin K and manganese. Cranberry also boast an impressive array of phytonutrients which are naturally occurring plant chemicals that offer the anti-inflammatory properties and protection from harmful free radicals. Did you know: Sailors would carry cranberries on their ships to avoid scurvy due to the high vitamin C content and ease of storage when dried.
