How to make maca tea

Step-by-step recipe

1. Heat the water: Bring 250 ml of water to a gentle boil in a saucepan or kettle.
   
2. Add maca: If using maca powder, add it directly to the hot water and stir well until fully dissolved. If using dried maca root pieces, add them to the saucepan and reduce the heat to a simmer.
   
3. Simmer if using root pieces: Let the maca root pieces simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes. This helps extract flavour and nutrients. Stir occasionally.
   
4. Strain the tea: If you used root pieces, strain the tea into a mug. If you use powder, no straining is needed.
   
5. Add flavour if desired: Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness. You can also stir in cinnamon or ginger for warmth. A splash of milk or plant milk makes the tea smoother and more comforting.
   
6. Serve and enjoy: Drink while warm. Maca tea works well as a morning or midday tea, especially when you want gentle energy without the jitters of caffeine.
   

How to store

Maca tea is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in a saucepan, stirring well before drinking.

A simple herbal boost

Maca tea is an easy way to incorporate maca root into your routine without needing capsules or powders mixed into meals. Warm, mildly sweet and naturally grounding, it offers a comforting daily boost that suits both busy mornings and slow afternoons. Try it plain, spice it up, or make it creamy depending on your mood.
