Ginger Echinacea Lemonade/Iced Tea

Honey and Lemon Echinacea Iced Tea

• 5 c. hot water
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• ¼ c. honey, divided
• 4 tea bags (I used Celestial Seasoning Perfect Trio- green, black, and white tea)
• 12 drops Golden Echinacea (I used HerbPharm brand)

Put honey and water in stockpot. Bring to a rolling boil, then turn off heat. The minute the water stops boiling, add tea bags and stir. Let steep for 5-6 min.

Meanwhile, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon (or about 1 tbsp) when cool. Or make a simple lemonade by stirring honey, ½ c. water, and lemon juice.

Combine tea and lemonade, and refrigerate.  When cold, pour over ice and serve.
