Honey Lemon Mint Tea

I have always loved the refreshing taste of mint. Especially when the weather is sweltering!

It’s been hot, hot, hot recently, and I really needed to cool down. So I concocted this Honey Lemon Mint Tea, combining mint with our family-favourite honey lemon! I was able to do this at the spur of the moment, thanks to the fact that I have mint readily available from my herb garden on my balcony!

This post is about the Honey Lemon Mint Tea. Obviously for something like this, a recipe is more a guide than an exact science since everything can be adjusted according to taste. This however is how I made mine. Enjoy!
