Gingered Honey Lemon Tea

From geranium 14 years ago

This award winning recipe is my moms creation. It is a wonderful thirst-quencher on hot summer days!

In a large Dutch oven, combine water, lemon juice, lemon extract, gingerroot, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Add tea bags; let steep for 30 minutes.
Remove tea bags.
Strain;
Add honey.
Chill until cold;
serve over ice cubes.
Garnish with mint leaves if desired.

I think this will be a wonderful tea for the cold season. Hot or cold!

I made this for our Recipe Swap, and it was really good! From a southern girl who doesn't care for sweet tea, but LOVES sun and brewed iced tea, it was a great compromise! A nicely spiced tea with a great citrus bite. I will say, I didn't use the lemon extract, rather I added some zest instead. Somehow, because of the spices, even though this is a great cold, iced tea, it still has a distinct autumn taste...which is just perfect, for us right now! Thanks for the recipe, Geranium...and your mama, too...I added my pic, too, until you get your own! ;)
