Kumquat Lemon Tea
Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Kumquat Lemon Tea, a delightful brew that combines the sweet-tangy essence of fresh kumquats and zesty lemons. This warm elixir is perfect for sipping on a relaxing afternoon or for soothing a sore throat.

Ingredients
- Water
- 4 cups

- Lemons
- 2, juiced
- Honey
- 1/4 cup, or to taste
- Tea bags (black or green tea)
