No booze required for this soothing green tea toddy. But if you do want an extra dose of warmth, we like this with smoky mezcal.

Preparation
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 and spike with 1 oz. mezcal if desired.
