A delightful herbal tea combining the soothing flavors of sage and lemon, perfect for any time of the day.
Bring the water to a boil in a kettle.
Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
Place the fresh sage leaves in a teapot.
Lightly crush the sage leaves to release more flavor.
Pour the hot water over the sage leaves in the teapot.
Ensure the sage leaves are fully submerged for even steeping.
Let the sage steep in the hot water for 3-5 minutes.
Cover the teapot to retain the heat and enhance the infusion.
Strain the tea into a cup to remove the sage leaves.
Use a fine mesh strainer to catch all the small particles.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey to the tea.
Adjust the amount of lemon and honey to suit your taste preferences.
Stir well and serve the tea hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing cold drink.
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of sage for presentation.
