2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, stems removed
2-3 organic roasted dandelion tea bags (Use less or more depending on your desired strength in dandelion flavor.)
1 organice lemon, sliced thin
½ cup raw honey (You can add additional sweetener, if desired)
Hot boiling water (About 4 cups; Use filtered water if making tea via the stovetop option)

Start by adding the filtered water (4 cups) to medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Add your tea bags, strawberries, and lemon slices, and let everything continue to boil for another 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let tea bags and ingredients continue to steep for about 5-10 minutes. NOTE: The longer that the tea bags steep, the stronger the flavor. You can let them steep up to 30 minutes before it begins to get bitter. Finally, add in the honey, stir to combine and carefully pour your tea into prepared mug(s), discarding of the strawberries and lemon slices. Add garnish, if desired.

In a large tea pot, add the strawberries, tea bags, and lemon slices followed by hot boiling water. Allow everything to sit for 5-10 minutes until the tea bags steep fully and the water begins to change in color----a dark brown. Once done, pour tea into prepared mug(s) and add honey to sweeten, stir and add garnish as desired.
Sip and Enjoy!

STORAGE: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator once fully cooled, tightly covered in a pitcher or in a tightly-sealed mason jar. Best if consumed within a 1-2 days. To reheat, simply add everything to a saucepan and bring to boil.
SWEETENER: Instead of honey, you can substitute with pure maple syrup, organic brown sugar, or organic cane sugar.
SERVING: This recipe makes 2 servings, however, you can always double or triple this recipe for additional servings and/or for meal prepping for the next two to three days. You can also enjoy this tea cold as an iced tea or hot as regular tea. Either way it's tasty!
