Tea-Totaler’s Toddy

Step 1

Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a medium pot. Remove from heat and add tea bags, honey, and 6 mint sprigs. Cover and let sit 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove tea bags and mint, gently pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 2

Meanwhile, slice 4 lemons in half and squeeze juice into a small bowl. Slice remaining 2 lemons into rounds; remove seeds. Add lemon juice, lemon slices, and remaining 6 mint sprigs to hot toddy. Ladle into mugs.
