To prepare this tea, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling. Place one tea bag or the recommended amount of loose tea into a mug. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for the recommended time, usually 2-3 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. You can add more honey or a slice of lemon if you prefer. It can also be cooled and served over ice for a refreshing drink.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain green tea, this blend offers a more complex flavor profile due to the addition of ginseng and honey. The ginseng can impart a subtle, woody undertone, while the honey provides a distinct sweetness that balances the tea's natural astringency. This makes it a ready-to-drink option for those who enjoy a sweeter, more aromatic cup.
