Herbal Iced Tea

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.
6. *Favorite combinations:**
7. **Mint-lemon**: Fresh mint + lemon juice + honey
8. **Chamomile-lavender**: Chamomile flowers + a few lavender buds + honey
9. **Lemon balm-ginger**: Lemon balm + sliced fresh ginger + honey
10. *Storage:** Refrigerator for 3-4 days.
