Lemon Tea in the Himalayas

This post is written by Linus Hammarstrand:

Nepal is home to some of the tallest peaks on the face of the planet, including Mount Everest, Makalu and Annapurna. Aside from being a destination for hardcore climbers, Nepal is also a paradise for trekkers of all kinds and stripes but no matter how much I would like to include myself in the former category, I am firmly rooted in the later. Trekking is typically hard work, even when doing the so-called easy ones, as Nepal is a very hilly country indeed. After a long day of sweat, blisters and insect bites (or frostbite if you are at a really high altitude), the thing to really look forward to is a cup of hot Lemon Tea.

Lemon Tea

This is typically made from one part lemon juice, a few spoonfuls of sugar and whatever bag tea that is available. It is not for the aficionado, but it is a well-deserved treat at the end of a grueling of day of hard work!
