Ingredients

  • 4 cups water filtered or spring water
  • 2 tbsp dried linden flowers or 2 tea bags
  • 1 tsp honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1 slice lemon optional, for serving

Notes

Store dried linden flowers in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. The tea can be made ahead and reheated gently, but fresh brewing yields the best flavor. For a stronger brew, steep for up to 15 minutes. This tea is naturally caffeine-free and can be enjoyed any time of day. Some people add a cinnamon stick during steeping for extra warmth and flavor.
