Step 5
Then add granulated sugar and the sliced lemon pieces. It's better not to add the lemon at the beginning, as the tea won't color properly. Sugar can be replaced with floral honey to make the drink even more beneficial. However, in this case, the honey should be added to the tea only after it has cooled down to 30 degrees to preserve its beneficial properties.
