1
Boil the Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Add the Herbs
Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat. Add the dried chamomile flowers, dried lavender buds, dried lemon balm leaves, and dried peppermint leaves. Stir gently to combine.
3
Steep the Herbs
Cover the pot with a lid and let the herbs steep in the hot water for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors and beneficial properties to infuse into the water.
4
Strain the Infusion
After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the herbal infusion into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the solid herbs.
5
Sweeten the Infusion
While the infusion is still warm, stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

6
Serve the Herbal Infusion
Pour the herbal infusion into cups or mugs. Garnish each serving with a slice of fresh lemon and a few mint leaves for an aromatic finish.
7
Enjoy
Sip your Antique Herbal infusion either warm or chilled. Enjoy the calming and refreshing flavors.
