Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional)
• 6 tea bags

Directions

• In a saucepan, add water, sugar, and bring them to a boil
• Stir till the sugar melts completely
• Remove the pan from heat, add ginger marmalade and mix well; it will easily dissolve
• Add tea bags, cover and let the mixture steep for at least 10 minutes or until water comes to room temperature; you can use regular tea or tea bags or even green tea (I have used tea bags)
• Strain the tea to remove the lemon zest
• Add 4 cups of water to the strained liquid and add it to a pitcher
• Chill the mix in refrigerator for 2 hours
