I just learned how to make the best tasting tea in the world.

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

"Tea" is a colloquialism when referencing steeped hot beverages that aren't made with tea leaves. The correct term is infusion, but tea is pretty much universally used. That's the nice thing about dynamic languages. They change over time to better serve the people that use them.

The fact that you took the time to...

1. Save my pic
2. Open it in photoshop
3. Paste my avatar on it.
4. Save it
5. Post it here

...is eerily creepy.

which is not what he did. he added lemon juice and honey to hot water, hence not tea no matter how you look at it. I have no problem calling herbal tea that have no tea tea because of what you stated.

As his secret santa I already knew his name, and address... hey Zeze I'm going to newyork in early April

Anyway, while I wouldn't quite call that tea i think tea will do until a better name can be found. Hell I would call it tea if I were ordering.

I don't know what diet got me drinking roasted dandelion tea, but I love this stuff. Kinda tastes like graham crackers. It's supposed to good for the liver.

I prefer my tea with some tea in it.

In that case you usually say "something" tea, where that something is used to make a tea-like drink. If you just call it "tea" (like the OP did) then I think people expect a drink made from tea leaves.

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

You, Sir, cannot tell the difference between honey-and-lemon beverage and mere tea?

Edit: Point (1) is a very bad and dangerous idea. Folks, DO NOT EVER DO THIS. Google "Superheat" and keep yourself safe.

Maybe. Not for someone in my house, but a visitor I'd say something like "Would you like some tea? I have herb, green, black, and oolong. I think I might have some jasmine in there too". For the OPs drink... I've never really heard of that before, but I think I'd call it hot lemonade.

If you know the rules, you can break them. Microwaving water is safe given a few precautions.
