How to make Costa Rican tea?

To make Costa Rican tea, combine ginger, turmeric, mint, cinnamon, pineapple, and a lemon verbena tea bag in a pot with water. Simmer gently, steep for 10 minutes, strain, and enjoy hot or chilled.

Which homemade tea is best for weight loss?

This Costa Rican tea is one of the best options thanks to its combination of ginger, mint, turmeric, and ACV — all known for boosting metabolism and reducing appetite. Green tea and dandelion are also effective.

Can I drink Costa Rican tea cold?

Yes, absolutely! After steeping, let the tea cool, refrigerate, and serve over ice. It’s refreshing, hydrating, and just as effective for weight loss when chilled.

How often should I drink it for weight loss?

For best results, drink Costa Rican tea 1–3 times daily, ideally 20–30 minutes before meals. It helps curb appetite and supports digestion throughout the day.
