BHA & BHT Free Bone Broth Lemon Ginger Tea
Warming, deeply savory, and brightened with citrus, this mug of golden broth is the kind of thing you'll want to reach for on a cold morning or whenever you need a reset. It layers fresh ginger, turmeric, and lemon into a bone broth base that feels nourishing without being heavy. For anyone avoiding synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, packaged broths and flavored teas can be a minefield — both additives show up regularly in shelf-stable products and pre-made drink mixes. Making this at home with whole, recognizable ingredients means you know exactly what's in your mug. The honey rounds out the tartness from the lemon juice and zest, while a pinch of sea salt pulls everything together in a way that's surprisingly complex. It comes together in one small saucepan and strains clean into two mugs, making it as easy as it is satisfying.
