This is my FAVORITE tea! It's healthy and good even though I use only 1/4 cup of honey. I find this perfect to sip on all through the day, and it helps me cut down on diet soft drinks. I think this tea is best when made ahead and the flavors have time to mingle.

This was tasty and easy, but nothing special. I will make again if I don't find another tea to top it.
