As we celebrate Gandhi Jayanthi on October 2nd, it's inspiring to reflect on Mahatma Gandhi's approach to health and wellness. Though Gandhi enjoyed tea, he eventually gave it up after realising that tannin, a key compound in tea, was potentially harmful. In its place, he developed a simple and refreshing drink that came to be known as "Gandhi Tea."

Gandhi’s Simple Tea Recipe for Wellness

Gandhi's tea recipe is rooted in natural ingredients, embracing simplicity and health. It consists of just a few key components, easy to prepare and ideal for those seeking a natural, caffeine-free drink. The recipe is as follows:

• 48 oz of organic lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons of ginger paste
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• Fubenco Honey (to taste)

Simply mix the ginger paste into the lemon juice, add salt, and store the mixture. When you're ready for a warm drink, add 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture into hot water and sweeten with honey. This refreshing and nourishing tea is a perfect example of how Gandhi found wellness in simplicity.
