Notes

Serving notes:

  • Serve in tumblers with ice and garnish with spearmint or lemon balm.
  • Make a stronger version and serve it half and half with mineral water

Options

  • If you like it sweeter, add your preferred sweetener (honey, sugar or maple syrup) to the hot tea. I like to add 1/2 tspn of dried Stevia leaf.
  • Add 2 tspns of licorice root or 1/2 vanilla bean pod when making the tea.
