The choice of time depends on the effect you want and how your body reacts to ginger and spices.
- During the day — the best option for most people. The tea is well suited to a break during the working day: the spicy taste is invigorating, and the warmth of the spices creates a feeling of comfort.
- In the evening — suits those who want a quiet cup of tea at home. Lemon balm is traditionally associated with relaxation, but ginger and cardamom are fairly active, so people who are sensitive to stimulating spices should not drink this tea right before bed.
- In cold weather or when you feel tired — this is when the warming character of ginger tea comes into its own.
The tea contains no caffeine (it is a herbal blend, not tea leaves), so it can be included in your diet at any time of day without the risk of disturbing your sleep — unless you have an individual sensitivity to pungent spices. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have chronic conditions, consult a specialist before drinking it regularly.
