Steam lemonade in either an electric tea kettle set to 185 degrees F or on the stovetop in a saucepan (measure temperature with a thermometer) over medium heat. As it's steaming, add peppermint syrup or drops, if using. Once at temperature, remove the lemonade from the heat and into a large mug.
1 ½ cup lemonade, 2-3 drops peppermint extract
Optional: Once heated, use a milk frother or the steam wand on your espresso maker to froth the lemonade.
Steep the two tea bags in the hot lemonade: the green tea for 3 minutes, the peach tea for 5 minutes.
1 sachet Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Tea, 1 sachet Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea
Stir in the honey until fully incorporated into the tea.
1 tablespoon honey
Drink and enjoy hot!

You can easily double, triple, even quadruple the recipe and keep it in a pitcher to keep in the fridge. Remove the tea sachets before storing.

The medicine ball tea reheats really well in the microwave in a microwave-safe mug or on the stove top over medium-low heat in a saucepan.
