A great morning drink to sip on and bring you into ketosis.
Chamomile tea is refreshing and great to “doctor up” to make it a fat-burning, ketone-producing drink.
As an alternative to morning coffee, I steep and blend it first thing in the morning. I pour a cup for me and store the remainder in my Thermos. Then I’ll drink it over the next couple of hours.
When I test my ketones in the morning after a previous carb-burning day, they register “0 ACEs” on my Breath Ketone Monitor. Then when I test it again 2 hours later after drinking my Chamomile Ketosis Tea, my ketones will register about “14 ACEs”. I’m in ketosis, and I love it!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups natural spring water
- 3 Chamomile tea bags
- 4 Tbs Ghee (you may want to start with less to see how your gut feels if this is the first time you’ve tried this)
- 2 Tbs MCT oil (you may want to start with less to see how your gut feels if this is the first time you’ve tried this)
Preparation:
- Bring water to a boil
- Pour boiling water over Chamomile tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes
- Add Ghee and MCT oil and blend with a stick blender
- Pour into a mug to drink, and store remainder in Thermos
- Get ready to measure your ketones levels in a couple of hours
