Frequently Asked Questions About Sage tea with lemon
What is Sage tea with lemon good for?
Sage tea with lemon is a soothing, aromatic drink that many people enjoy warm. Its ingredients do not make it a proven treatment for colds or other illnesses, so use it for comfort rather than as a substitute for medical care.
Does Sage tea with lemon have caffeine?

What is Sage tea with lemon?
Sage tea with lemon is an infusion made by steeping sage leaves in hot water and adding lemon juice or a slice of lemon. Sage has long been used in Mediterranean kitchens, and the lemon brings a bright, lightly tart note to its distinctive herbal aroma. It can be made with fresh leaves or dried sage.
Serve it hot after a meal or as an evening drink; it also makes a gentle alternative to black tea at teatime. Some people add honey, though the lemon and sage flavours come through more clearly without it. Nutritionally, it is mostly water and very low in energy: the supplied figure is 2 calories per 100 g. Adjust the amount of lemon to your taste, and avoid steeping the leaves for too long if you prefer a milder cup.
