Detox with Powerful Parsley Tea

• Tweet
• 

Parsley is more than just another pretty garnish. Scientists are finding this beautiful leafy herb to have huge nutritional benefits. Not only does it have a grassy, fresh and peppery taste,  it also helps prevent certain types of cancer as well as several other chronic and debilitating diseases. Did you know that parsley has lot's of vitamin C, a powerful anti-inflammatory! Think skinny, less wrinkles and energy.

Try some Parsley Tea to relax and feel clean inside: 

Place 1/4 cup of parsley into a tea infuser and pour 1 cup of boiling water into the cup (I like to make a few cups at a time in a teapot and sip on it throughout the evening). Let the parsley water steep for 6-7 minutes, remove the infuser and add a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of agave nectar if you like a touch of sweet and enjoy! This tea is very relaxing, smells like spring and feels very cleansing.

  I have been drinking Parsley Tea for three day. I must agree, It's is very relaxing. I like the fact it is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

  I don't usually leave comments, but I just had to. I tried the parsley tea for the first time last night... I have been feeling really low energy, edgy and overdue for a detox for the last while, and thought I would give it a try. I was surprised to actually find it truly relaxing, it really was lovely to sip on leading up to bed time. I also woke up feeling lighter and refreshed, with the most energy I've had throughout the day in over a couple weeks. I am working on my second night of sipping on this amazing tea!
