SOOTHE MY SOUL TEA

MAKES 2 CUPS

Katniss recalled when Gale’s little brother had nothing to eat for an entire week but corn syrup on bread, and tea flavored with corn syrup. This would have been trying for anyone, even someone as strong as Katniss.

This tea, made with honey rather than corn syrup, is more palatable. It’s wonderful served hot or cold, so enjoy it over ice in the warmer months.

1 (2-INCH) PIECE LEMON PEEL, CUT INTO THIN SLIVERS

2 TEASPOONS BOILING WATER

¾ CUP HOT WATER

2 TEASPOONS GREEN TEA POWDER

3 TABLESPOONS FRESHLY SQUEEZED LEMON JUICE

1 TEASPOON HONEY

Put lemon peel into a large cup or mug.

Cover with 2 teaspoons boiling water and let steep for about 3 minutes to release the oils.

Stir in the hot water and green tea powder.

Add the lemon juice and honey.

Mix well and serve with a thick slice of bread slathered with honey.
