Notes
Taste testing is key when adding honey – our sweet little secret. Remember to cool your tea to room temperature before storing it in the fridge. This helps avoid clouding and keeps your tea clear. For an extra flavorful kick, you can also infuse the tea with a few sprigs of fresh mint before refrigerating.
