Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 milliliters Water
- 2 teaspoons or bags Green tea leaves or green tea bags
- 1 tablespoon Raw honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 500 milliliters of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
Once the water has reached a rolling boil, remove it from heat and allow it to cool for about 1 minute. This ensures the water is at the optimal temperature for steeping green tea.
Place the green tea leaves or bags into a teapot or heatproof pitcher.
Pour the slightly cooled water over the green tea leaves or bags.
Allow the green tea to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preference for tea strength.
While the tea is steeping, add 1 tablespoon of raw honey into the teapot or pitcher, stirring gently to help it dissolve.
Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the tea mixture, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
Remove the green tea leaves or bags from the teapot or pitcher.
Serve the tea warm, pouring it into cups or mugs. Optionally, garnish with a lemon slice or mint leaves for added freshness and aroma.
Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Honey Green Tea as a beneficial part of your daily regimen!
