Ingredients
2
cups
Water
1
tablespoon
Tea Powder
1
tablespoon
Lemon Juice
2
tablespoon
Sugar or as needed
Instructions
Boil the Water:
In a saucepan or kettle, add water and bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Brew the Tea:
Add the tea leaves / tea powder or tea bags to the boiling water.
Combine everything.
Let it steep for 3-5 minutes depending on the desired strength as you prefer and then switch off
If using tea bags, remove them after steeping. If using tea leaves, strain the tea into a cup.
Add Lemon:
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the brewed tea. Alternatively, you can add lemon slices directly to the tea.
Sweeten the Tea:
Add honey or sugar to taste. Stir well until it dissolves. Honey pairs particularly well with lemon, giving a natural sweetness.
Serve:
Pour the lemon tea into a cup or mug. If adding lemon slices, place a slice or two in the cup for added flavor.
Notes
You can also add the sugar along with the Tea powder itself.
Adjust the sugar level according to your taste.
Adding more Tea powder may turn the tea bitter so add it carefully.
