I am quite surprised with this. I never have tried lemon water because I thought it would be nasty. I am also not very keen on the taste of Honey, yet this combination was actually quite good. I tried it with a warm cup of water since I am not a tea drinker. I think that this would be good with warm or cold water really. This would be a good flavor enhancer to plain ole water. I really liked this surprisingly so!! I made this for the Contest and Events Forum, All Aboard the LOVE Train, 2012. This gets a KUDOS from me!

OOPS! Forgot the stars when I first reviewed this.....Made this two days ago and just enjoying it tonight as I write this review. I was surprised thaat it turned out so well....I say this because I'm not a big fan of plain raw honey, but always use it in collking or baking. When I make tea, I use a flavored raw honey, like clover. I used fresh-from-the -tree lemons and limes and store-bought tangerines. Great flavor, thanks Rita!

This is a great idea to do this ahead of time and layer it like this. I have always used lemon and honey tea for a cold, sore throat or if I have "lost my voice" It really works.
