Chef Tips:
To maintain professional standards, always use filtered water; the mineral content in tap water can dull the delicate flavors of both the tea and the botanical infusion. If you prefer a clear tea without milk, whisk the infused honey vigorously into the hot tea for at least 30 seconds to ensure the lipids are suspended as thoroughly as possible.
