How do you pair these turmeric and ginger muffins?

To keep things complementary, enjoy our La souplesse du dragon herbal tea with its anti-inflammatory virtues of blackcurrant leaves, turmeric, meadowsweet and ginger.

For a touch of spicy freshness, you can also pair these muffins with a Curcuma-Ginger infusion, in tea bags that you can take with you to work.

This simple recipe can also be used as the basis for a matcha version, with spices or ingredients of your choice!
