[The bartender is back quickly with a piping hot kettle and two glass mugs with strainers in them. He pours each their cup, cuts a lemon, salts it, and times out the time to steep the leaves. They only get handed their drinks when the perfect couple of minutes have passed and the strainers can be removed. Ives grumbles a bit at the theatrics, but the Springtide care so much about tea being right.]
And yes, common enough. The lemon is usually squeezes or let sit in the water. I would simply eat it as is, with the salt. [that will wake someone right up, especially chased with the caffeine content of the black tea, the local equivalent of a harsh Earl Grey.]
