These Lemon Turmeric Frozen Tea Bombs melt into a soothing drink that’s perfect for cold and flu season. Made with just 4 ingredients (fresh citrus, ginger, turmeric, and lemongrass), these easy immunity bombs transform boiled water into a comforting tea. Freeze a batch to have on hand all winter long for a simple way to support your health.
I made these lemon turmeric tea bombs after my Elderberry Bomb recipe went viral. It’s of course, a different flavor but also a quicker way to make frozen tea bombs. They’re simple to prepare and so convenient to have on hand. Just pop one into a mug, add hot water, and stir!
I love how the fresh ginger and turmeric create a comforting spice blend that complements the bright citrus. They’re perfect for chilly mornings or as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Plus, knowing I’m sipping on something packed with natural health benefits makes it even better. Whether you sweeten them with honey or enjoy them as is, these bombs are my new favorite way to wind down and warm up!
What are tea bombs for?
Tea bombs are a quick and easy way to enjoy tea. Just melt them in hot water, no steeping needed! It’s a delicious way to customize your tea while getting an immunity boost.
Lemon Turmeric Immunity Bombs Health Benefits
These lemon turmeric bombs are packed with powerful natural ingredients to support your health. Ginger and turmeric bring anti-inflammatory benefits that help soothe sore throats and ease congestion. Lemons are rich in vitamin C, giving your immune system the extra support it needs. My favorite, lemongrass, has antimicrobial properties that help your body fend off infections. These tea bombs are an easy way to stay on top of your wellness routine when you need it most.
Here’s What You Will Need To Make These Cold Tea Bombs
- Lemons: Soak the lemons in water with a sprinkle of baking soda to give them a good clean, then slice them into chunks. Their tangy, vibrant flavor forms the zesty backbone of this tea bomb.
- Fresh Ginger: Ginger brings a bold, spicy warmth to each sip, making this tea bomb as cozy as it is flavorful.
- Fresh Turmeric: This earthy and slightly bitter root adds depth to the flavor profile and a beautiful golden hue to the mixture.
- Lemongrass: My favorite addition! Its bright, citrusy flavor ties everything together with a light and refreshing twist.
- Water: Just enough to blend it all smoothly. Don’t use more than ½ cup extra if the mixture needs thinning.

Tips To Make Your Tea Bombs
- Blend thoroughly for a smooth mixture: Make sure the ingredients are well-blended to create a silky texture that melts evenly when used.
- Freeze in silicone molds for easy release: Silicone molds make it simple to pop out the tea bombs without breaking them.
- Adjust water gradually: Add extra water in small amounts if the mixture is too thick, but avoid thinning it too much to maintain its concentrated flavor.
- Use organic ingredients when possible: This is especially helpful since you’ll be using the peel of the citrus.
- Store properly for freshness: Keep your tea bombs in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and maintain their flavor for up to 3 months.
- Test sweetness while serving: Add honey or agave to your drink after melting the tea bomb, so you can adjust it to your preference.
STORAGE
To store your lemon turmeric tea bombs, carefully remove them from the molds and transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. This prevents freezer burn and makes them easier to grab when needed. They’ll stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months, ready for a soothing drink anytime!
Common Questions
Do I need to strain the tea after the bomb melts?
Straining is optional. If you prefer a smooth drink, you can strain it, but leaving it unstrained adds texture and ensures no flavor is lost.
What if I don’t have silicone molds?
You can use an ice cube tray as an alternative, though the shapes will be smaller. Simply adjust the number of cubes you use to match the same ratio of tea bomb to water.
How do I clean fresh turmeric?
Scrape the skin off using a spoon for an easy and mess-free method. Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands.
