So, I’ve been experimenting with drinks lately, and today I want to share my little concoction of lemon green tea with honey. Sounds simple, right? But it’s the little things that make a difference, trust me.

First off, I grabbed a bag of my usual green tea. Nothing fancy, just the regular stuff you’d find at any store. I boiled some water, and while it was heating up, I sliced up a fresh lemon. I like to use about half a lemon for one cup, but hey, you do you.

• Boil water
• Slice lemon
• Steep green tea bag
• Add lemon juice
• Stir in honey

Once the water hit a rolling boil, I poured it over the tea bag in my favorite mug. I let it steep for about three minutes. You don’t want to leave it too long, or it gets that bitter taste no one likes. After steeping, I squeezed the lemon slices into the mug. Oh, and I fished out the seeds that tried to escape.

Now for the sweet part—literally. I added a good spoonful of honey. I’m not too picky about the kind of honey, but I do like it to be raw and local if I can get it. I gave it all a good stir until the honey was all melted in. Sometimes I like to add a few extra slices of lemon into the mug.

The Result

This drink is pretty refreshing. It’s got that nice tartness from the lemon, the sweetness from the honey, and that earthy green tea flavor. Honestly, it’s a comforting drink, especially when you feel a bit under the weather. Plus, it feels good knowing you’re getting some antioxidants and vitamin C.

I’ve been drinking this almost every day, and I think it’s a nice little healthy addition to my routine. It is simple, tasty, and makes me feel good. Give it a try if you’re looking for a new drink to add to your day!
