Lemon Tea

A classic drink that simply adds lemon to black tea. The secret to its deliciousness is to infuse the aroma quickly.

Ingredients1 serving

Black tea (such as Nilgiri or Ceylon)
1 tsp
Hot water
200 ml
Lemon (thinly sliced)
1 slice
Sugar or honey
to taste

How to make

  1. 1

    Brew the black tea and pour it into a cup.

  2. 2

    Add the lemon slice, and remove it as soon as the aroma infuses.

  3. 3

    Add sweetness to your liking.

💡 Tip

Leaving the lemon in for too long can make the tea bitter and astringent. Remove it once the aroma is infused. Mild-flavored tea leaves pair well.
