Honey lemon tea is one of the best ways to have tea. Not only does it taste good, but it also has a lot of health benefits. Honey and lemon blend very well together, giving the tea a very pleasant sweet and sour taste. Honey acts as a natural energy booster. It is a great source of carbohydrates that helps in providing a lot of strength. The glucose in the honey is quickly absorbed by the body to gives you an instant energy boost. Honey also helps to keep your sugar levels constant and keep your immune system healthy. Lemon too is very good for fighting diseases. It is thought to act a natural blood purifier, not only cleansing your system but also helping to relieve pain, treat kidney stones, and strengthen our immune system. Both honey and lemon, with their anti-oxidant, anti-viral and anti bacterial properties, are thought to help cure many ailments such as the flu, sore throat, and the common cold.

The tea is very simple to prepare. You would require one cup of water, two teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or a slice of lemon, and one teaspoon sugar, which is optional. You take the water and boil it for a while, just like you would while preparing regular tea. Add some tea leaves to the water, and leave it for a while. Make sure you heat the water well, then pour the mixture into a cup and add honey to it. Now you could either add a slice of lemon, allowing it to gradually mix with honey, or you could simply add one spoon of lemon juice in the tea. Another simple way of making this tea would be by taking the water in a mug, adding honey to it and heating it in the microwave for a little less than two minutes. You then add the limejuice and stir it well till the honey is dissolved. In both methods, adding sugar is optional.

Having honey lemon tea in the morning can be very beneficial. As mentioned earlier, it gives you the required early morning boost.
