About the beautiful tea Hain Celestial creates a variety of natural and organic foods that I love, and their tea line is so comforting and delicious. Tea has so many health benefits and that’s why incorporating it into your foods can be incredibly beneficial and also flavourful. You don’t just need to drink tea out of a mug! For this recipe I cooked the quinoa in Celestial’s Ginger & Tumeric Tea. As you likely know, both ginger and turmeric are magic ingredients. The ginger gives this tea blend a spicy kick, and combined with the warmth and aroma of turmeric, it’s seriously such a good combo to cook with. Not to mention it’s vegan, organic, gluten free and caffeine free. Benefits of ginger and turmeric Ginger is one of my favourite ingredients because it has so many different benefits. It can…

Combine those benefits with the benefits of turmeric:
Prevents blood clots Reduces depression symptoms Is an anti-inflammatory Helps boost your skin health Helps fight disease
