    ⭐ Why this fruit tea is so good

    A really fragrant (and so pretty!) drink, that I know you will love because:

    • Fruity and fun: this pomegranate tea is so flavourful, with a kick of spice from the ginger.
    • Caffeine free tea: perfect for when you want a warm drink but not a typical tea or coffee.
    • Easy to make: a real treat that doesn't take too much time.
    • May help with nausea: not the usual tip on recipe posts, but the reason I made this drink in the first place! Ginger has a long history of being used for nausea and has studies to back up this claim (Healthline). It's also used to help manage migraine (Healthline).

    ☕ Ingredients

    This pomegranate tea has only two ingredients, and optional honey if you have a sweet tooth.

    • Pomegranate is a good source of vitamin C and other antioxidants (Healthline). Personally I use fresh pomegranate or sometimes frozen, and extract the juice. You can purchase pomegranate juice in a carton if you can tolerate it.
    • Ginger is a classic food for nausea, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (Healthline). It's so versatile, and can be used in sweet and savoury cooking.
    • Honey is added, if you like, for extra sweetness. Personally I don't always add it, but if you feel that you have a cold coming it may be helpful for a sore throat! I like the Rowse honey.

    🔪 Step by step instructions

    A very simple recipe! This pomegranate tea has a few easy steps to come together:

    process shots of slicing ginger, boiling in a pan, sieving pomegranate seeds and pouring the ginger tea through a sieve.

    STEP 1

    Add the diced ginger to a pan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

    STEP 2

    In a sieve placed over a jug (easier than a bowl), press down on the pomegranate seeds to release the juices. If your pomegranate seeds aren't very juicy whizz in a blender for a few seconds. Discard the seeds in the sieve.

    STEP 3

    Pour the ginger water through the sieve into the jug with the pomegranate juice. Then pour into your glasses.

    💭 Recipe tips and notes

    • Adjust the quantity of ginger to personal taste. Some like it very 'spicy' others just a gentle hum of heat.
    • The honey is optional. Pomegranate already has a sweetness, but you can always add a touch of honey if you have a sweet tooth.

    📋 Ginger and histamine

    Ginger seems to be one of many foods that are a little debated on a low histamine diet. I had avoided it for a while as it scores 1 on the SIGHI list (although with a note 'small amounts are well tolerated), but other lists actually have it as low histamine or even an antihistamine.

    I asked on my Low Histamine Kitchen Instagram and the vast majority of people said they were fine with ginger, and some said they actually found it beneficial. Of course, we are all different in terms of sensitivities and you should always follow the advice of a doctor or dietician.

    For more information, as well as other tea and coffee alternatives, see my post on low histamine teas!

    Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
