Enjoy the wholesome goodness of Honey Lemon Tea! This comforting blend of black tea, zesty lemon, and sweet honey is packed with antioxidants and vitamins to support your well-being. It's the perfect pick-me-up for soothing sore throats and colds, aiding digestion, and even supporting your weight loss journey.
Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of loose black tea leaves and let them brew for 1 to 2 minutes.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add 3 fresh lemon slices into the pan.
Cover the saucepan with its lid and allow the tea to infuse for another minute.
After brewing, remove the pan from the heat and lift the lid.
Strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer to capture the leaves and lemon slices.
Sweeten the tea by stirring in 1 teaspoon of honey until well combined.
To Serve
Serve the freshly prepared Honey and Lemon Tea warm.
Notes
Here are some expert tips to perfect your Honey Lemon Tea:
Brewing: Infusing black tea leaves with lemon slices adds a distinctive zesty flavor. Alternatively, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to your brewed tea for a similar tang.
Honey: Its anti-inflammatory qualities not only sweeten your tea but also boost your immune system and soothe sore throats and cold symptoms.
Ginger: Consider adding ginger for an extra kick. Check out my separate post on Lemon Ginger Tea for a twist that excludes black tea leaves.
Lemon Juice: If lemon slices aren't available, simply use lemon juice. Add 1 teaspoon of it per cup to your brewed black tea for a fresh, citrusy taste in every sip.
