About the Recipe
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.
Ingredients
We love this delicious, refreshing tea from What Steve Eats (or in this case, drinks)
1 orange
2 lemons
1 ½ tablespoons dried mint or mint tea blend
2 tablespoons Season 1 Basswood honey
Preparation
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.
