Sea buckthorn tea with ginger
4 servings
15 minutes
Sea buckthorn ginger tea is a warming, aromatic drink that embodies the best qualities of nature. Its roots trace back to traditional European winter tea recipes where sea buckthorn is valued for its vitamin richness and ginger for its spicy warmth. The flavor of this tea is rich and slightly astringent with bright citrus notes and gentle honey sweetness. Aromatic pepper adds subtle spiciness, while the combination of sea buckthorn and ginger helps the body recover and strengthen immunity. This tea is perfect for cool days when you want to indulge in coziness or after long walks to recharge with energy and warmth. It can be served alone or paired with light desserts to highlight its rich flavor.
1
Cut 6-7 cm of unpeeled ginger root into thin slices, add 2 crushed allspice berries, and pour in a cup of boiling water. Let it steep. With prolonged steeping, the mixture can become very strong, adjust to your taste! But I love it very spicy.
- Fresh ginger root: 0.5 piece
- Allspice berries: 2 pieces

Pour 1–1.5 cups of fresh or frozen sea buckthorn with a cup of boiling water and blend. Strain the resulting mixture through a sieve or using a special cloth bag for nut milk.

Mix the ginger and pepper infusion with sea buckthorn juice, pour it into a teapot, and fill it completely with boiling water.

Sweeten with floral honey (the sweetness of honey varies by its type and quality; I need 4 heaping tablespoons for a 1.5-liter kettle).
