Print Recipe

A simple, soothing detox tea made with dandelion, fresh lemon slices, and raw honey. This easy recipe offers a comforting, refreshing drink that supports natural cleansing and wellness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons dried dandelion leaves and roots (organic, loose-leaf preferred)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) filtered or spring water
  • 1 medium fresh lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or fresh ginger slices

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of filtered water to a rolling boil (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place 2 teaspoons of dried dandelion leaves and roots into a teapot or infuser. Lightly crush for stronger flavor if desired.
  3. Add 3-4 thin lemon slices on top of the dandelion tea.
  4. Pour the hot water over the tea and lemon. Cover and steep for 8 to 10 minutes until the liquid deepens to a warm amber color.
  5. Remove the tea leaves and lemon slices using the infuser or strain through a fine mesh sieve into a mug.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of raw honey while the tea is warm but not boiling (around 130°F or 54°C) to preserve honey’s enzymes.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  8. Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or fresh ginger slices during steeping for a warming twist; strain out before drinking.

Notes

Do not add honey to boiling water to preserve its beneficial enzymes; let tea cool to about 130°F (54°C) before sweetening. Steeping less than 6 minutes results in weak flavor; over 12 minutes can cause bitterness. Fresh lemon slices provide better flavor than lemon juice concentrate. For batch preparation, brew tea without honey and lemon, refrigerate, and add fresh before serving.
