Ingredients
  

For the Lemonade

  • 1 cup hot water approx. 90°C / just off the boil
  • 1 chamomile tea bag
  • 2 –4 tablespoons honey start with 2, adjust to taste
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice from approx. 2–3 lemons
  • 3 cups cold water still or sparkling mineral water
  • Fresh mint or strip or slices of lemon zest optional

For the raspberry variation:

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 cup of water to approximately 90°C (just off the boil). Pour over the chamomile tea bag. Steep for 5–7 minutes. Remove the tea bag without squeezing.
  • While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust.
  • Add the fresh lemon juice. Stir.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature. Add a few ice cubes to speed this up if needed.
  • Pour in 3 cups of cold still or sparkling mineral water. Stir gently.
  • Taste. More honey for sweetness, more lemon for brightness.
  • Serve over ice with lemon slices.
  • Garnish with mint and/or add raspberries if using (and smash them slightly if you would like a pinker color).

Notes

Storage: Base keeps in the fridge up to 3 days. Add cold water just before serving. Full lemonade best within a day.
Sparkling water: Add last, glass by glass if making a large batch.
Honey: Dissolve in warm tea, not cold water. For raw honey, keep water below boiling to preserve enzymes.
Sweetness: Start with 2 tablespoons and taste. Lemons vary in their sweetness.
Children under 12 months: Do not add honey to their drinks.
