Enjoy the benefits of hot water and herbal teas with MyMoment and Sky Kettles
Wellness trends continue to evolve, flooding our social media feeds and shopping experiences alike. Everywhere we turn we are introduced to a new trend or habit that’s said to vastly improve our health, wellness and mental clarity.
Some are more complex than others, and some are certainly more effective than others.
One thing that’s quickly caught on is the ritual of swapping out a classic morning caffeine for something herbal, or even just a simple hot water. And we can be sure that this is a simple yet effective health habit.
Infused with either lemon or a herbal tea, drinking hot water or herbal tea can offer many health benefits and be a great way to start your day! And, small appliances like the Bosch Sky Kettle and MyMoment Kettles can make this experience even more fulfilling.
The benefits of hot water
Starting your day with a simple hot water or herbal infused tea is a popular wellness ritual for good reason. Hot water is said to aid digestion, improve circulation, reduce stress, and boost hydration. Sipping hot water can also be a mini mindfulness practice that forces us to slow down, taking a moment to pause, breathe and reduce our stress.
But adding a flavour or herbal tea can ramp up the experience, and there is now a huge variety of teas to try from. Pair this habit with the MyMoment or Sky Kettle with Rapid Boil and Temperature Control features, and you’ve perfected your new morning ritual.
Here are some of our favourite suggestions for your next slow morning (or evening) tea:
Chamomile tea:
Best enjoyed at full boil
Chamomile tea has always been a favourite for its calming effects, so it’s a great go-to for relaxation and sleep. Often enjoyed before bed, it’s said to promote better sleep quality. Chamomile contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to certain receptors in the brain, which encourages sleep and reduces anxiety.
For the best results, chamomile is ideally brewed with fully boiled water, which the Sky Kettle can provide at exactly the right temperature. Just set it to full boil, add your chamomile, and enjoy a calming and aromatic experience.
Peppermint tea:
Best enjoyed at 80°C
Peppermint tea is the go-to for digestion, but it also has antioxidant and antiviral properties that promote overall wellness.
If you experience bloating or digestive discomfort, especially after a meal, a peppermint team is the perfect, soothing remedy. Plus its cooling menthol properties give a nice, refreshing taste - a great way to start your day or finish a meal.
Peppermint tea should be brewed at 80°C, so with precise Temperature Control you can ensure your tea is brewed perfectly, preserving the delicate oils and flavours.
Ginger tea:
Best enjoyed at 100°C
Ginger is a powerhouse of antioxidants so is great if you want to boost your immune system, especially in the winter months! Plus, it’s known as a remedy for nausea - often used to alleviate morning or motion sickness.
A strong but warming flavour, ginger tea is best enjoyed when brewed at 100°C, and both the Sky Kettle and MyMoment kettles can achieve this for you with ease. You can enjoy ginger tea as a morning pick-me-up or savour it slowly for a nightly dose of antioxidants.
Echinacea tea:
Best enjoyed at 95°C
Echinacea is known to be a natural remedy for the common cold, since it can boost immune function. The herb is often found in immune-boosting teas and is great during the colder months or whenever you are feeling slightly run down.
With the Sky Kettle, you can easily heat the water to the recommended 95°C to get those full benefits. It’s a quick and easy way to get the therapeutic benefits of the tea whilst also enjoying a moment of relaxation to yourself if you have a busy schedule that’s running you down.
Sage tea:
Best enjoyed at 85-95°C
Did you know that sage tea promotes a whole host of cognitive benefits?
Sage tea has been linked to improved mental function, memory and focus. Sage also contains compounds that are believed to stimulate certain brain chemicals which can support mood and alertness!
Ideally, you’ll want to enjoy this brain boosting brew at around 85-95°C. So, for those seeking a productive and focused afternoon, sage tea is the perfect post-lunch treat.
Whether you’re enjoying hot water or a carefully brewed herbal tea, the right kettle can elevate the experience.
The MyMoment Kettles offers a fast-boil feature that gets your water ready in under a minute. So, it’s great for busy mornings or quick afternoon breaks.
The Sky Kettle on the other hand gives you versatility with its Temperature Control feature, which allows you to cater the brewing temperature to each unique tea type and enhance the health benefits of every cup!
