Makes: 1 pot (1 litre)
Time: 15 min
From: Common lime

Ingredients

30 g fresh lime blossom (or 10 g dried)
1 litre hot water (± 95 °C)
honey to taste
1 slice of lemon (optional)

Method

Shake the blossom and remove leaves and brown flowers.
Put the blossom in a teapot or jug.
Pour the hot water over and cover, so the aromas do not escape.
Leave to steep for 8–10 minutes; longer makes the tea bitter.
Strain the tea and sweeten to taste with honey. Drink warm, with a slice of lemon if you like.

Storing: Drink the tea warm; leftovers keep 1 day in the fridge.
