(Ihlamur)

Linden Tea

1 cup water boiling water

Few drop of lemon
Pinch of cinnamon, optional
Honey, optional

Place the linden and cinnamon in a small tea pot-brewer (demlik). Pour the boiling water over the leaves into the brewer. Put the lid on. Let it brew for about 7-8 minutes. Then pour the brewed Linden Tea into tea glass using a small tea strainer.

Serve the Linden Tea with just a few drops of lemon juice. Linden Tea has a sweet-smelling taste and don't need to sweeten it:)
