Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled. This will give you the best flavor. This is my favorite lemon squeezer (affiliate link).
- Don't use boiling water. My late grandmother taught me that for the best flavor, you need warm water not boiling water. The ideal water temperature for this tea is around 110 - 140 F, warm enough to sip comfortably. Use a temperature-controlled kettle or heat on the cooktop, and take off the heat just when you see tiny bubbles forming.
- I like to add a slice of lemon to my tea because as it steeps, it adds more of its delicious and refreshing citrus flavor.
- You can easily adapt this lemon and honey tea recipe to suit your tastes by adding more lemon juice or honey.
