Ingredients
- 1 green tea bag or 1 teaspoon loose green tea

- Optional: 1 teaspoon raw honey
Instructions
- Heat water to approximately 175°F (80°C), steaming but not boiling.
- Steep the green tea bag or loose tea in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Avoid steeping longer to prevent bitterness.

- Optionally, add raw honey for sweetness and stir until dissolved.

Notes
Use fresh lemon juice for maximum flavor and nutrient benefit.
Avoid boiling water as it can make the tea bitter and reduce antioxidants.
Drink first thing in the morning or 30 minutes before meals for best results.
Rinse mouth with water after drinking to protect tooth enamel from lemon acidity.
Adjust honey amount or omit based on your preference.
Variations include adding ginger, mint, turmeric, or serving iced.
