Honey Ginger Lemon Bars

Growing up and still today, lemon bars are one of my bar desserts. Tangy, citrusy and lemony. These Honey Ginger Lemon Bars are a notch higher. They include my favorite tea flavors, ginger, honey and lemon. This recipe is tangy and citrusy with a luscious honey flavor and a kick of ginger. It is a crowd pleaser!
