From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep
Mmmm…lemon! For me, lemon has the magical ability to be both soothing and stimulating, as well as delicious as a hot or cold beverage. It is warming during a frosty morning and cooling on a sunny afternoon. I created this tea recipe to be full of flavor with a nice floral finish, and oh, so very lemon-y!
This fantastic blend is amazingly more flavorful than simply lemon juice with hot water (although that blend is a simple and fantastic tip as well). We've taken three citrusy botanicals (lemon balm, lemon grass, and lemon peel) and combined them with blackberry leaf and rose petals for depth of flavor. We hope you like it!
