Lemon Tea Recipe

A soothing and refreshing lemon tea made with fresh lemon juice, black or green tea, and a touch of honey. Ideal for mornings, cold relief, or a relaxing afternoon drink.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon black or green tea leaves (or 1 tea bag)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

1. Boil water: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan or kettle.
2. Steep tea: Add tea leaves or a tea bag to the hot water. Let it steep for 3–5 minutes (less for green tea to avoid bitterness).

4. Add lemon juice: Stir in fresh lemon juice while the tea is still warm.
5. Sweeten (optional): Add honey or sugar to taste.
6. Serve: Pour into a cup and garnish with a slice of lemon if desired. Serve hot or chilled over ice for iced lemon tea.
