Warming Honey, Ginger and Lemon Green Tea

teas.co.uk · 6 min · Serves 1

You'll need

• 1 tea bag of Tetley Green Tea with Lemon
• 200ml freshly boiled water, cooled to about 80C (check with a thermometer)
• 2 thin slices of fresh ginger
• 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, to taste
• Optional: an extra slice of lemon

Method

1. Drop the ginger slices into your mug. Let the boiled water cool to roughly 80C (check with a thermometer), then pour 100ml of it over the ginger and let it sit for a minute.
2. Add the tea bag and top up with another 100ml of the 80C water.
3. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then lift the bag out without squeezing. Leave the ginger in if you like it stronger.
4. Stir in honey to taste and add a slice of lemon. Sip while warm.
5. Stir the honey in once the cup has cooled a little; very hot water dulls honey aroma and its delicate notes.
