Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Black Tea
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Honey

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Pour the 1 cup of Water into a small saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil, which means you will see large bubbles rapidly rising to the surface. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. 2Carefully pour the 1 cup of boiling water into your mug or teapot. Add the 1 teaspoon of Black Tea to the hot water.
  3. 3Allow the black tea to steep in the hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. You will see the water turn a darker color as the tea infuses.
  4. 4If you used loose leaf tea, carefully strain the tea leaves out of the water using a fine-mesh sieve. If you used a tea bag, simply remove it from the mug or teapot.
  5. 5Add the 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice to the tea. Stir gently until it is well combined.
  6. 6Add the 1 teaspoon of Honey to the tea. Stir again until the honey has completely dissolved into the liquid.
