To prepare this herbal tea, bring fresh, cold water to a boil. Place one tea bag in a mug. Pour the boiling water over the tea bag. Cover the mug and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently squeeze the tea bag to release more goodness. Remove the tea bag and enjoy. You can add honey or a slice of lemon for extra flavor, though it is already flavored with lemon.
