Herbal Iced Tea

Ingredients

• ●1.9 L (8 cups) water
• ●20 g (1 large handful) fresh herbs: mint, lemon balm, chamomile, lavender, or a mix
• ●2-3 Tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
• ●Juice of 1 lemon
• ●Ice

Method

1. Bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat.
2. Add the fresh herbs. Cover and steep for 10-15 minutes (longer for stronger flavor — taste as you go).
3. Strain out the herbs. Stir in honey while the tea is still warm (it dissolves better). Add lemon juice.
4. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold.
5. Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and lemon slices.
