☕ How to prepare

1. Place 1 tea bag in a mug or teapot.

2. Pour over boiling water (~95–100 °C).

3. Leave to infuse for 8–12 minutes (a longer infusion will bring out the flavour).

4. Remove the tea bag and serve warm – you can also leave it to cool to make iced tea.

👉 With herbal teas (such as lemon balm), a longer steeping time is common and helps to release the herbal compounds.
