Scale
Tea Base
- 4 ounces water
- 1 bag Peach Herbal Tea
- 1 bag Citrus Mint Green Tea
Sweetener and Citrus
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 lemon slice (optional)
Instructions
- Steep the Teas: Heat 4 ounces of water until hot but not boiling, then steep the peach herbal tea bag and the citrus mint green tea bag together for 5 minutes to extract the vibrant flavors.
- Add Honey: Remove the tea bags and stir in 2 teaspoons of honey until fully dissolved, adding a natural sweet touch to the tea blend.
- Combine with Lemonade: Warm up 1 cup of lemonade by steaming it or heating gently on the stovetop. Pour the heated lemonade into the honey-sweetened tea mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, add a lemon slice for a fresh citrus aroma and serve immediately while warm for the best comforting experience.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of honey to taste depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- For a cold version, allow the tea to cool and then add chilled lemonade and ice cubes instead of warming the lemonade.
- The lemon slice is optional but enhances the citrus notes and makes for a pretty garnish.
- This recipe serves one, but it can be easily scaled up for multiple servings.
