Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons Jasmine Green Tea: The core of this detox drink, jasmine green tea combines the soothing floral notes of jasmine with the health-boosting properties of green tea. It’s rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and support healthy skin. Green tea also promotes fat burning, making it an excellent choice for weight management.
  • 1 cup Hot Water : Hot water is essential for steeping the tea, helping release the antioxidants and aroma from the jasmine leaves. The ideal temperature is around 170-180°F to avoid bitterness and ensure the perfect extraction of flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon Honey: Honey is a natural sweetener that can enhance the flavor of your tea without the harshness of refined sugar. It’s rich in antioxidants and can also soothe the throat, making it a perfect addition to your detox tea.
  • 1 Slice Lemon: Adding lemon not only boosts the detoxing effects of the tea but also provides a refreshing citrus kick. Lemon is high in vitamin C, which supports your immune system and promotes skin health, making it the perfect complement to jasmine green tea.

Instructions
 

  • Boil the Water: Begin by boiling a cup of water. The water should be just underboiling, around 170-180°F. This is the ideal temperature for steeping green teawithout making it bitter.
  • Prepare the Tea: While the water heats up, place 1-2 teaspoons of jasmine green tealeaves into your teapot or tea infuser. If you’re using loose-leaf tea, makesure to measure it properly for the best flavor extraction.
  • Steep the Tea: Once the water reaches the right temperature, pour it over the tealeaves. Let it steep for2-3 minutes,  
     Keep in mind that over-steeping can lead tobitterness, so stick to the recommended time for a smooth, aromatic brew.
  • Add Honey and Lemon: After steeping, remove the tealeaves or infuser. Add a teaspoon of honey to sweeten the tea (optional), and afresh slice of lemon for a zesty detox boost. Stir gently to combine andenhance the flavors.
