Ingredients

1 tea bag green tea
1 tea bag peppermint tea
1 tea bag peach detox (or other fruity or citrus flavor)
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons pure lemon juice (approx. 1 small lemon)
4 tablespoons raw honey

Instructions

In a large jar or mug, pour 2 cups boiling water over tea bags. Allow to steep for 5-7 minutes.
Remove tea bags, add 3 tablespoons pure lemon juice (approx. 1 small lemon) and honey and stir until 4 tablespoons raw honey is dissolved. (Note: the tea will change color with the added acidity from lemon - that is normal)
Pour into 2 mugs. Add slice of lemon, mint leaves as garnish, or additional peppermint extract for extra flavor. Enjoy warm.

Notes

There are various ways to make the tea combination but in keeping with the Starbucks copycat recipe, try these:

Traditional Medicinals Green Tea with Peppermint, Yogi Peach Detox, Traditional Medicinals Spearmint OR Peppermint, and/or Pukka Three Mint tea
You want to have a blend of good green tea, some variation of mint, and a fruity flavor like peach.
To make this decaf, use decaf green tea or use an extra tea bag of mint.

To skip extra sugar in lemonade, the recipe above calls for pure lemon juice and honey. If using lemonade instead, reduce hot water to 1 cup, honey to 1-2 tablespoons depending on sweetness of lemonade, and add 1 cup of lemonade.

You may drink Honey Citrus Mint Tea chilled, although effects will be different.

Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.

When adding honey, make sure to tea has been slightly cooled to retain the beneficial enzymes.
