- 2 cardamom pods
- 2 cloves
- 2 cups of water
- 1 small piece of fresh turmeric (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (for a vegan option)
- 1-2 slices of fresh ginger (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the infusion**: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and turmeric. Let these spices simmer in the water for 5 minutes to release their bold flavors.
2. **Brew the tea**: Add 1 teaspoon of Token Herbal Ginger Healer to the pot with the spices. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes.

4. **Strain and mix**: Once the tea has brewed, strain the tea and spices into a large mug or teapot. Stir in the honey or agave syrup, and then add the orange and lime juice. Taste and adjust sweetness or citrus to your preference.
5. **Garnish and serve**: Garnish your exotic ginger tea with a fresh slice of ginger and a sprig of mint for a fresh and fragrant touch.
