Benefits of Honey Lemon Tea for Skin & Health

While the title might mean that we add honey and lemon to tea, honey lemon tea is actually a concoction that has only lemon and honey. It has the goodness of honey and lemon, is free from caffeine and is great for health!

How to make lemon honey tea?

There are a couple of ways to make it.

• The simplest one is where you boil the water. Squeeze in the juice of half a lime to it and add honey for sweetening.
• The other method involves boiling the water and adding a couple of lemon slices to the water and letting it steep for a few minutes. When you are ready to serve it, strain and stir in some honey to this concoction. You could kick it up a notch by adding some grated ginger while boiling it.
• You could even steep the mixture with a plain green tea bag or a chamomile tea bag for some added goodness.
• If you want a chilled drink for respite from heat, chill the same tea and serve it cold with a lemon wedge.
