Imagine gathering around the kitchen table, the warm, inviting scent of honey lemon thyme tea filling the air. This unique blend of sweet honey, zesty lemon, and aromatic thyme creates a drink that’s not just refreshing but also beautiful for family moments and seasonal occasions. With Zoyaaz, every sip becomes an inspiration for creativity and bonding time. This honey lemon thyme tea is a true reflection of our mission to infuse joy and creativity into every cup.

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 lemons, freshly squeezed
• 1 large sprig of fresh thyme (plus more for garnish)
• Optional: lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. As the water heats, enjoy the anticipation of sharing this delightful drink with loved ones.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the sprig of fresh thyme. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the water with its aromatic flavors.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the thyme sprig. Carefully stir in the honey, ensuring it fully dissolves into the warm water, and breathe in the sweet scent.
4. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, mixing well. The tangy aroma of citrus should now blend perfectly with the sweet honey and herbal notes.
5. Pour the tea into cups, piping hot, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and lemon slices for an elegant touch.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Substitute honey with maple syrup if you prefer a vegan option or want to try a different flavor profile.
• For an iced version, cool the tea to room temperature, then refrigerate and serve over ice.
• Add a dash of ginger for an extra zing, making it a perfect drink for cozy family nights.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently if serving hot.
• If you can’t find fresh thyme, use 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, though fresh is recommended for the best flavor.

Pairings and Complements

• Enjoy this tea with light snacks like shortbread cookies, scones, or a fresh fruit platter.
• It pairs wonderfully with a cheese board for a simple yet elegant family gathering.
