There is no dearth of tea preparations in India and Bengal’s lebu chaa or lemon tea is one of the classic examples. It is Bengal’s own version of spiced tea, except it also comes with a hint of lemon.
It is a natural mood booster. Makes you feel calmer and less stressed and anxious. It can set a positive tone for the day and improve sleep quality.
The tea does not contain any milk, sugar is added too to balance out the saltiness and sourness of the tea.
You can use a healthier alternative to sugar like honey, then this tea could also double as your home-made ‘immunity-boosting’ potion.
The spices and tea come with their own range of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help keep diseases at bay.
The citric acid in lemons produces digestive juices and helps to break down food. Consumption of lemon tea can help prevent indigestion, bloating, and constipation.
