- 3 oz immune boost tea of your choice (see note 1)
- 1 teaspoon honey

Note 2: Make an optional rose and sugar rim using 2 parts edible dried rose petals and 1 part sugar.
To do this, break up the rose petals a little using a mortar and pestle.

Rim your glass with lemon or agave and firmly press the glass into the rose and sugar mixture. Simple and pretty!
