My girls and I are all feeling sick so I made some Honey Lemon Tea to soothe us. I love how this drink is greatly beneficial and tastes great at the same time.

At this time of the year, you should be cozying up with hot drinks. Homemade hot beverages like Ginger Drink, Lemon Grass Tea, or Coconut Hot Chocolate are so easy to put together. Drinking a hot drink is one of the best ways to make the best out of a cold season.

The Ingredients

With just boiling water, lemon juice, and honey, you will get a soothing beverage to enjoy.

Container of honey, a lemon and water in a cup.
  • Hot or boiling water: Hot or boiling water helps the honey dissolve faster.
  • Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is better. But you could use bottled lemon juice too.
  • Honey: Honey adds sweetness, plus it has anti-bacterial properties.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Optional Add-Ins

  • Fresh Ginger – Peel and slice some fresh ginger and add in.
  • Tea – First brew some green tea, chamomile tea, or any tea of choice then add the honey and lemon juice.

First, babies under one year old should not consume honey. Apart from that, lemon water should not be consumed over a long period of time as it contains high levels of citric acid that could be potentially damaging to the tooth’s enamel. After consuming lemon tea, it is advisable to rinse your mouth with water to reduce its effect on your teeth.
