Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Tea

Place 1 herbal slimming tea bag into a mug.

Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes to extract the full herbal flavor.

Step 2: Remove and Cool

Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool at room temperature for 5–10 minutes.
This prevents excessive dilution when poured over ice.

Step 4: Add Lemon

Add lemon slices or 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the glass.
