Instructions
Step 1: Boil The Water
- First, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. This will be the base for our lung detox tea.
Step 2: Add The Herbs

- Allow the herbs to simmer in the water for about 10 minutes. This helps extract the beneficial properties from the herbs, making your lung cleansing tea more effective.
Step 4: Strain The Tea
- Take the saucepan off of the burner after ten minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the tea into a teapot or directly into your cup, ensuring no herbs remain in the liquid.
Step 5: Add Lemon And Honey
- For added flavor and extra health benefits, stir in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey.
- Both ingredients are known for their soothing properties, especially for the throat and lungs.
