What is Parsley lemon herbal tea?
Parsley lemon herbal tea is a light infusion made by steeping parsley leaves with lemon, using fresh or dried parsley and lemon juice or zest. Its flavour is fresh and green, with a bright citrus tang; served plain, it makes a delicate, refreshing cup rather than a strongly flavoured tea. Recipes vary, so the balance can be adjusted to taste.
It can be enjoyed hot or chilled over ice, as a caffeine-free drink during the day or alongside a light meal. In places where herbal infusions are common, it fits easily into a relaxed tea break; elsewhere, it is a simple alternative to sweetened drinks. It has very few calories per 100 g.
