Ingredients

Tea and Liquid Base

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons lemonade mix
  • 1 mint tea bag
  • 1 peach tea bag

Flavorings

  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ lemon, sliced
  • 5 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: To a large mug, add the lemonade mix, mint and peach tea bags, honey, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves to prepare the flavorful base.
  2. Heat Water: Heat 2 cups of water to about 200°F (93°C), just below boiling, ideal for steeping delicate teas without bitterness.
  3. Pour and Mix: Pour the hot water into the mug over the ingredients. Stir gently to ensure the honey and lemonade mix fully dissolve, blending the flavors harmoniously.
  4. Steep: Allow the mixture to steep for 3-4 minutes so the teas and fresh ingredients release their full aroma and taste.
  5. Serve: Once the tea is cool enough to sip comfortably, enjoy the warm, fragrant beverage that soothes and refreshes.

Notes

  • The lemonade mix can be adjusted according to your desired tartness and sweetness.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon slices for a brighter flavor.
  • Stir gently after pouring hot water to fully incorporate the honey and lemonade mix.
  • This tea is perfect for calming the throat and warming up during cold weather.
  • Adjust steeping time for a stronger or milder tea flavor.
