Ingredients
- 15 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, add the fresh mint leaves and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mint to steep for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid into a teapot or heatproof jug, discarding the used mint leaves.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice until fully dissolved and well-combined.
For a hot beverage, pour the minty honey tea into serving mugs immediately. For an iced version, let the tea cool to room temperature, then pour over ice cubes in tall glasses.
Garnish with extra mint leaves or a lemon wedge if desired. Serve and enjoy!
