Recently i have been dieting..Whenever i start dieting, the first thing i do is drink lots of hot drinks. Mainly lots of lemon tea, green tea, ginger tea, pomegranate tea, apple tea, orange tea and stuffs like that..
I have added some black tea in this, but you can just use plain hot water, lemon juice and honey as well. Instead of black tea, you can use green tea as well..You will get all the benefit of this tea when you drink this early morning.
Benefits of lemon tea:
1)Helps in digestion
2)Removes toxins from body
3)Hydration
4)Helps in Weightloss
5)Good for Skin
6)Improves Immunity
7)Refreshing
and many more..
I will be sharing my other tea recipes soon..Keep looking for them..Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Can I make a large batch and have it chilled for weight loss? Or does it need to be hot?
Aarthi
You can drink this cold too. But for weightloss purpose this tea has to be had hot.

Hello Aarthi.. I like your recipes a lot.. they are presented very elaborately..iam an architect by profession. But i love to experiment with recipes across the globe..your blogs help me acquire my passion for cooking.
