If any of your guests complains about joint pain, serve this herbal milk infusion to them! Turmeric tea works wonders for bone health.

To make it, you’ll need ground turmeric (2 tablespoons), water (1/4 cup), milk (1 cup), and almond oil (1 teaspoon). Simmer together water and turmeric until you see a thick turmeric paste.

If your guests like things sweet and simple, British tea is their choice. Fresh water, a teapot, some milk, a bit of sugar – and here you go! The perfect British tea is as easy as pouring boiled water in the teapot and adding black tea leaves to it. Wait for a couple of minutes. All that’s left is to strain the tea while pouring into china cups.

4) Iced Black Tea
