Drinking cayenne pepper tea might sound like some kind of crazy food challenge that bored teens are doing on Tiktok, but it's actually a beverage that many people are drinking for its health benefits. It's quite simple to make cayenne pepper tea, so you can easily add it to your daily routine.
As with any tea, you start with hot (or boiling) water, then stir in ground cayenne to taste — about one-quarter teaspoon to start, although feel free to add more if you're a fan of super-spicy foods. Stir the cayenne until it's dissolved, and then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon for flavoring and added nutritional value. If you like, you can add additional flavorings such as turmeric or ginger, both of which are also amongst the healthiest of spices. If you prefer your tea on the sweet side, a spoonful of honey will do the trick, and it might also do you some good. Once your tea is cool enough to drink, sip it slowly. That way, the heat of the cayenne won't hit you all at once and burn your throat.
