Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make tea with lemon and honey? Put the kettle on and prepare the necessary ingredients. There aren't many of them.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Peel the ginger and cut it into thin slices. By the way, if for some reason you do not like ginger or want to make tea for children, then it can be excluded.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put green tea, ginger and cinnamon in the teapot. Cinnamon, like ginger, is not necessary to add, but it will be much tastier and healthier with them. Someone taught me a long time ago to pre-rinse the kettle with boiling water. In my opinion, this contributes to the disclosure of the taste and aroma of tea leaves. therefore, I advise you to first pour a little boiling water into an empty teapot, chat a little to warm up the walls, drain and only then lay the ingredients.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Fill the teapot with boiling water, almost to the top.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    If desired, you can add a sprig of fresh or dried mint - it will also give the tea its flavor and benefits

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Next, cover the kettle with a towel and let it brew for 10 minutes, during which time the tea will reveal its aroma

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Our tea is almost ready!

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    It remains only to add a slice of lemon - just don't put it in boiling water right away, let the tea cool down a little, otherwise vitamin C will simply collapse

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Now it's honey's turn. But the trouble is - you need to add it to tea at a temperature no higher than 40 degrees, otherwise honey will give tea only its sweetness, but not its benefits! For children, this tea is just right, but if you like to drink tea hot - eat honey better!

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Have a nice tea party and be healthy!

Of course, you probably know how to brew tea! But I will share with you some subtleties, thanks to which this drink will not only be delicious, but also extremely useful!

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the tea an unpleasant characteristic taste.
