Lemon tea is a refreshing and soothing beverage, perfect for any time of year. It combines the tangy flavor of fresh lemons with the natural sweetness of honey and a hint of garlic for a unique twist. This simple recipe can boost your immune system and provide a warm, comforting drink that's both delicious and healthful.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lemons: Wash the lemons thoroughly. Cut them into thin slices, removing any seeds.
- Garlic: Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them using the flat part of a knife or a garlic press to release their essential oils.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the lemon slices and crushed garlic cloves. Let them simmer for about 5-7 minutes to extract their flavors.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the honey until it is completely dissolved. Adjust the amount of honey to taste if necessary.
- Using a fine-mesh sieve or a strainer, pour the tea into cups to remove the lemon slices and garlic pieces.
- Enjoy your lemon tea hot. You can also allow it to cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing iced lemon tea.
Tips:
- Use fresh, organic lemons to get the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
- Adjust the amount of honey to your liking; if you prefer a sweeter tea, you can add more honey.
- Crush the garlic cloves slightly before adding them to release more of their natural oils and flavors.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, you can steep some lemon zest along with the juice.
- If you find the garlic flavor too strong, you can use just one clove or omit it altogether.
- For a cooler version, allow the tea to come to room temperature and then refrigerate before serving over ice.
