Hello, friends. One of the small pleasures that I sometimes indulge in is to enjoy tasting a delicious tea. I recently tried two instant ones, one lemon and the other is a green tea with ginger. To prepare them, I heat a glass of water with three teaspoons of sugar (usually brown) and when it starts to boil, I turn off the heat and add the tea. The first time I tried the ginger one with green tea and the flavor shocked me a little, I had to add a little more sugar to that one and it was perfect.
