Description
Cozy up with a cup of honey citrus mint tea—a soothing blend of fresh citrus, cooling mint, and a bit of honey for sweetness. If you're a fan of the Starbucks medicine ball tea, then you'll want to give this a try.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 orange
- 2 lemons
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried mint or mint tea blend
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prep the citrus. Zest the orange, then slice it into rounds. Juice one orange and slice the other into rounds. Juice the second lemon.
- Steep the tea. Fill a tea infuser or basket with the mint and orange zest and place them in mugs. Alternatively, you can steep the tea in a teapot. Bring about 4 cups or 32 ounces of water to a boil. Let the water cool for a minute, then pour it into your mugs or pot. Infuse the tea for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add honey and lemon juice. While the tea steeps, add the honey and lemon juice to your mugs.
- Pour and garnish. Pour the tea into your mugs. Stir to dissolve the honey. Then, garnish with orange and lemon slices to your liking, and enjoy hot.
Notes
Let your boiling water briefly cool before pouring over the mint.
Don't steep the tea for more than 7 minutes, or it may become bitter.
If you like a sweeter tea, add more honey to your liking.
