Practised for centuries in ancient India, Ayurveda aims to balance and heal the body using natural remedies. This Ayurvedic detox tea revs up your metabolism, aids digestion and removes toxins from your body.

What you'll need to make your Ayurvedic detox tea

• 1 litre of boiling water
• 2 green tea teabags
• 2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons of cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons of fennel seeds
• 2 teaspoons of coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• A teapot

Making your tea

Start off by placing the green tea into the teapot and pour the boiling water over. Add the grated ginger and turmeric powder. Then add the various seeds to the teapot and allow the mix to steep for at least five minutes. Strain the tea before drinking it.

Drink the tea as hot as possible for best results

To reap the full benefits of the tea you will need to drink it at least twice a day. At least one of those times should be first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. If you find the tea to be unpleasant, try drinking it with a slice of lemon and a touch of honey.
