Method

Preparing the Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a kettle or pot.

  2. 2

    Once the water has boiled, remove it from the heat and add 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea or 1 tea bag. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  3. 3

    Strain or Remove Tea

    If using loose leaf tea, strain it using a fine mesh strainer or simply remove the tea bag if using one.

Adding Flavor

    Sweeten Your Tea

    If desired, add 1 tablespoon of honey for sweetness. Stir well until dissolved.

  2. 5

    Add Lemon

    For a touch of citrus, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and stir to combine.

  3. 6

    Milk Option

    For a creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of milk and stir until mixed in.

  4. 7

    Spice It Up

    If you enjoy spices, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for an extra flavor kick.
