Bring water to a boil in a kettle, on the stove or in the microwave.
Add tea bag to a heat-proof mug. Top with hot water. Infuse for 5-7 minutes — the longer, the stronger your tea will be.
Stir in lemon juice and honey. Garnish with a lemon slice, cinnamon stick and piece of star anise. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Other kinds of tea? If you prefer black or green tea, feel free to substitute in for the rooibos.To make this a boozy hot toddy, use a little less tea/water and throw in 1½ to 2 ounces of whiskey or rum.
