Green Tea with Lemon

Ingredients:

• 1 green tea bag (or 1 tsp loose leaf green tea)
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1-2 tsp honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Brew the Green Tea:

   • Heat the water to just below boiling (around 175-180°F / 80°C). Pour the hot water over the green tea bag or loose leaf tea in a cup.
   • Let it steep for about 2-3 minutes. Green tea can become bitter if steeped too long, so keep an eye on it.

2. Add Lemon:

   • Once the tea is brewed, remove the tea bag or strain the loose leaves. Squeeze a few slices of lemon into the tea for a burst of citrus.
   • Add lemon slices to the cup for extra flavor and a beautiful touch.

3. Optional Sweetener:

   • If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey (or stevia, if you’re looking for a sugar-free option). Stir to dissolve.

4. Serve:

   • Stir the tea well, and enjoy your warm, refreshing drink. You can also chill it for an iced version if preferred!

5. Enjoy:

   • Sip on this energizing, antioxidant-rich drink anytime!

Optional Add-ins:

• A few mint leaves for extra freshness.
• A slice of ginger for an added boost of anti-inflammatory properties.
• A dash of cayenne pepper for a metabolism-boosting twist.

Benefits:

• Green tea is rich in antioxidants, boosts metabolism, and may help with fat burning.
• Lemon adds vitamin C, supports digestion, and enhances the flavor of the tea.
