Cold Remedy Tea 🍵
Description: A spicy light brew that is light on the tea and heavier on the spice, although if you like more tea you can add that. I have made this with lemon juice instead of lime juice as well. It is easy to play around with.

Steep: Allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes. Be careful not to steep for more than that to avoid bitterness.
