Honey Lemon Tea
The Ingredients
With just hot water, lemon juice, and honey, you will get a soothing beverage to enjoy.
- Hot or boiling water: Hot or boiling water helps the honey dissolve faster. We use our electric kettle to quickly boil the water.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is better for you. But you could use bottled lemon juice too. A lemon squeezer cup makes squeezing and measuring the lemon juice at the same time a breeze!
- Honey: Honey adds sweetness, plus it has anti-bacterial properties. Always choose raw honey if you can. If you can find local raw honey, it’s excellent for the benefits it has.
