Cortisol Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- Tea kettle
- Tea strainer
- Citrus Juicer
- Measuring spoons
- Stirring spoon
- Cocktail shaker (optional)
- Highball glass
Ingredients
- 1 green tea bag
- 1 chamomile tea bag
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- Ice cubes
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 inch turmeric grated
- 1- inch fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp chamomile flowers dried
Instructions
- Get some water boiling first. If you are using a heatproof container, pour the hot water over either the green tea bag or the chamomile tea bag.
- Allow the spices to mix with the water for about 5 minutes. Simply strain the loose-leaf tea and chamomile flowers out after the tea has been steeped.
- Incorporate the juice of half a lemon to improve the mixture. Garnish the tea with grated turmeric, sliced ginger, and honey, if you desire.
- Making sure that everything mixes well is important when mixing the ingredients. Another 5 minutes of steeping will keep the magic going.
- Make a glass full of ice cubes. Fill the glass up halfway with the cortisol mocktail combination.
- For a tasty treat, give it a light spin to chill it and make the flavors distribute evenly.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh chamomile tea, lemons, and high-quality honey.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the cocktail before adding honey and adjust the sweetness to your preference.
- Experiment with Tea: While chamomile is traditional, you can try other calming teas like lavender or passionflower.
- Add Ice Last: To prevent dilution, add ice to your glass just before pouring the cocktail.
- Garnish Creatively: Enhance the visual appeal by garnishing with a lemon twist, chamomile flowers, or a sprig of fresh mint.

Does Cortisol Cocktail Help Losing Weight?
While the Cortisol Cocktail is not a weight loss remedy on its own, it can indirectly support weight loss by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. High cortisol levels, often associated with stress, can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. By helping to lower cortisol levels, the Cortisol Cocktail may support overall well-being, which can be beneficial for those trying to manage their weight. However, for significant weight loss, it’s essential to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.
