Honey Citrus Mint

Recipe Submitted by John Park

The honey enhances the tea's natural flavors, the lemon adds a bright citrus note, and the mint gives it a fresh finish. It's a simple way to make an already great cup of tea feel extra special.

Ingredients: 

• 1 FORTY-THIRD BLEND filled tea bag (or 1.5 teaspoons of loose-leaf)
• 8 oz hot water
• 1 teaspoon local honey
• A squeeze of fresh lemon
• 2–3 fresh mint leaves
• Ice (optional for an iced version)

Directions:

1. Steep the tea in hot water for about 4–5 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bag, stir in the honey until dissolved.
3.  Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and gently bruise the mint leaves before dropping them into the cup.
4. Enjoy it warm, or let it cool and pour it over ice for a crisp, refreshing drink.

Enjoy,
