Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Freshly squeezed lemon juice and high-quality loose-leaf tea will result in the best flavor.
  • Adjust the spices to your taste: Experiment with different spices to create a blend that you enjoy. Some popular spices for lemon-spiced tea include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Steep the tea for the right amount of time: Over-steeping the tea will result in a bitter flavor. For most teas, 3-5 minutes is a good steeping time.
  • Add sweetener to taste: If you prefer your tea sweet, add honey, sugar, or another sweetener to taste.
  • Garnish with lemon zest: A sprinkle of lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the tea.
