I don't drink coffee. I drink tea here and there, but not crazy about it either.

My friend's GF made me this one day. I was like HOLYWTFHELL, so fresh! So simple to make, so delicious. My GF and I have been drinking this non stop since.

1. Prepare hot water (just microwave it for best convenience).
2. Cut a lemon into half. Squeeze generous amount in the cup (half lemon makes 2 serving).
3. Add generous amount of honey.
4. Enjoy the nectar of gods

unless you added tealeaves to that, that isn't tea, it lemonade made with honey in stead of sugar.

By that logic, roasted barley tea or roasted corn tea aren't teas? There are so many types of teas throughout Asia and Europe that doesn't use leaves.

Tea is made from using hot water to draw the oils out of some kind of organic matter - tea leaves, acorns, barley, or corn.

Mixing hot water, lemon juice, and honey is NOT tea.

Beautiful girl, lucky guy. :)

I enjoy green tea and make it by the container. Steep 10 organic green tea bags in 7 cups of water at 130F/55C for 6 hours. Add 1/3 cup lemon juice, 2-3 tablespoons of xylitol and 80-100 drops of stevia to taste. I'll also add ingredients like taurine or carnosine, betaine to make it healthier. Awesome stuff.

I prefer mine brewed in the sun. Gives tea a very nice finish. Oh, and strong as hell like my coffee.
