A tea recipe made with black tea leaves readily available in dried form in markets.

Treats Nausea

Ginger is always helpful in treating nausea-related uneasiness. Still, it is always better to consult a doctor before having tea, as it can harm the baby even if it contains simple ingredients.

If using this tea to treat simple nausea and vomiting, skip adding tea leaves and have it plain by adding ginger and lemon to boiling water.

  • Add some peeled ginger pieces to the tea. Ginger can be grated to infuse intense flavors but is optional to add pieces or in grated form.
  • Add black tea leaves or a tea bag. Adding in any form is fine and gives the same results.
  • Allow it to steep well for a few minutes or simmer for a few minutes.
