In addition to the mint and lemon, you can also add a pinch of turmeric powder or some holy basil leaves or just a bit of chamomile to the tea mixture to enhance the immune boosting properties of this tea.
Lemon grass is also a wonderful addition to this herbal tea, and is particularly helpful for the cold and cough season.
