Ingredients
- 2 dried limes I like to use a black and a brown, but ir doesn't really matter
- 1 litre 4 cups water
- sugar or honey to taste
- 12 borage flowers totally optional
Instructions
- Place the limes in a small food bag, and using the back of a knife, crack the limes open.
- Place the limes and all bits into a saucepan and top with the water.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes for a light flavour, and 10, for a stronger flavour. I prefer to go the whole 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea into a teapot or jug and discard the limes.
- Pour into cups or tea glasses, sweeten to taste and serve.
- If you have borage flowers, drop a flower or two in each glass.
