Linden tea with lemon is an herbal infusion made by steeping linden blossoms in hot water and adding lemon; despite its name, it is not made from tea leaves. Linden has a gentle floral aroma, while lemon brings a bright, tangy edge. It is commonly sipped warm in the evening or during cold weather, and can also be served chilled when you want a lighter, refreshing drink. A little honey is a familiar addition, though it is just as pleasant plain.
Without added sweetener, it is very low in energy, with 2 calories per 100 g. It suits anyone looking for a caffeine-free alternative to regular tea and pairs well with a simple biscuit or a light snack.
