Ingredients

• 4 cups of boiling water
• 4 teaspoons dried elderflowers or 4 elderflower tea bags
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey or natural sweetener of your choice
• Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil. While the water is heating up, prepare your teapot or heatproof pitcher.
2. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the dried elderflowers or tea bags to your teapot. Pour the boiling water over them, releasing the gentle, floral aroma of elderflowers.
3. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes to infuse fully. This is where the magic happens, as the flavors blend beautifully.
4. While your tea is steeping, thinly slice the lemon. The citrus will add a zesty, refreshing twist to the floral tea.
5. After steeping, remove the elderflowers or tea bags. Stir in the honey to enhance the sweetness and mix well until it dissolves.
6. Add the lemon slices to the tea, stirring gently to incorporate the fresh, tangy aroma.
7. If you prefer your tea chilled, let it cool slightly before pouring over ice cubes. If not, serve warm and savor every sip!
