Flavor: Remove the tea infuser. If desired, sweeten with honey or add lemon juice to taste.

To Freeze: Use any leftover dinosaur tea to create tea-flavored ice cubes. Pour the tea into an ice cube mold and freeze. The frozen tea will stay fresh for up to three months. Use them in cold beverages, smoothies, or as a dessert.

Notes

Adding honey: Stir honey well into hot tea to ensure it dissolves completely for balanced sweetness. Start with half a teaspoon of honey and adjust to taste.

Adjust lemon juice: Add the lemon juice half a teaspoon at a time to get the perfect tartness without overpowering the tea.
