I make it weak…
BUT… I add sugar AND honey…
So any health benefits I am getting from the tea are accompanied by taking in too much sugar.

I read that drinking hot lemon water is good for metabolism, digestion, Vit C, etc.

SO I just started doing that today.
I will have my cup of tea in the morning…and maybe another in the afternoon, but I will make my lemon water with a little bit of honey in place of the few cups of tea I drink through the morning.
I am trying to increase my water intake, and it's not so much that I don't like water… I just prefer hot drinks….. So this MAY work for me...

Giving it a try.

Does anyone else drink hot lemon water?

I drink hot tea a little more often. I only add honey if I have a sore throat. I'll either use honey or Stevia to sweeten it.

Sugar is not my friend in any way, shape or form. I've heard that lemon water is very cleansing.

That , Splenda, and other sweeteners give me belly pain…

I love chai tea, but by the time I soup it up with sweetener, creamer and milk, it's quite a concoction.

I drink a moderate amount of iced tea ... always with fresh lemon, or I'll put lemon juice in there.
