Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start off by brewing your water to 205 degrees or according to your tea directions. 
  • In a mug, add the peach tea bag and the jade citrus mint tea bag. Pour the hot water over the top. 
  • Allow the tea to steep for 5-8 minutes. The longer it steeps the stronger it will be.
  • Add in some honey and stir until it dissolves. 
  • Squeeze the lemon juice, stir and enjoy. 
  • Add more honey and lemon as needed. 

Notes

Substitutions
Lemonade (Starbucks Version): If you are using your favorite pulp free lemonade, warm it in the microwave (in a microwave-safe mug) or use steamed lemonade from an espresso machine. 
Variations
Ice: This tea drink is also great iced! Just steep the tea bags in 8 oz of water instead of 12oz, add in the honey and lemon, stir well and pour over ice. Add more ice as it melts. 
Hot Toddy: This combination makes a wonderful hot toddy as well. Add 1.5 oz of your favorite bourbon to take this tea from good to fantastic.
