Does drinking charcoal tea have any benefits? The new health craze loved by the Kardashians

Kim Kardashian has given fans a glimpse into her morning routine by sharing a snap of her new favourite health drink, which is made with an unusual ingredient. The reality star and business mogul posted an image to her Instagram this week showing a cup of grey tea that has been made with charcoal.

The 42-year-old enjoys a cup of the charcoal tea as it is said to boast several health benefits. Users of the ingredient claim it can be used as part of a detox, as it is said to be able to absorb chemicals and toxins and thereby reduce their absorption in the body.

The drink is made using activated charcoal, which usually comes in powder form and so can be added to a range of hot and cold beverages including tea and smoothies. Kim’s sister Kourtney has even shared a recipe for a charcoal latte on her lifestyle website Poosh.
