Cortisol Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- 1 glass
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 green tea bag
- 1 chamomile tea bag
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- Ice cubes
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 inch turmeric grated
- 1 inch fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp chamomile flowers dried
Instructions
- Start by boiling some water. Pour the hot water over either the green tea bag and chamomile tea bag in a heatproof container.
- Let it steep for around 5 minutes to let the flavors blend into the water. Once infused, take out the tea bags or strain out the loose leaf tea and chamomile flowers.
- Enhance the mix by squeezing in the juice of half a lemon. Introduce grated turmeric, sliced ginger, and, if you like, a bit of honey to the tea mixture.
- Stir the components well, making sure everything blends together harmoniously. Continue the enchantment by letting the mixture steep for an additional 5 minutes.
- Take a glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pour the cortisol mocktail mixture over the ice cubes, filling the glass generously.
- Give it a gentle swirl to chill the drink and spread the flavors evenly, making your taste buds happy.

These Variations Can Elevate Your Cocktail Experience!
- Tea Variations: Instead of using green tea and chamomile tea, you can experiment with other herbal teas like peppermint, lavender, or hibiscus for different flavor profiles.
- Citrus Twist: Try using lime or orange juice instead of lemon juice for vitamin C to add a different citrusy zing to your mocktail.
- Sweeteners: If you prefer alternatives to honey, you can use agave nectar, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like stevia for sweetness.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few crushed cardamom pods to the mix for a warm, aromatic touch.
- Fresh Herbs: Consider adding fresh mint leaves or basil leaves for an extra layer of freshness and herbal goodness.
- Fruit Infusion: For a fruity twist, muddle some berries like strawberries or blueberries into the mocktail before adding the ice cubes.
- Coconut Water: Replace some of the water with coconut water to add a hint of tropical flavor and electrolytes.
