This soothing cup is proof that the simplest recipes are often the most satisfying. Delicate green tea steeped at just the right temperature โ well below a rolling boil โ keeps the flavor clean and slightly grassy rather than sharp or astringent. A squeeze of fresh lemon brightens the whole thing, while raw honey adds a gentle floral sweetness that dissolves right in. Every ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's nothing to swap, substitute, or second-guess. It's the kind of drink that feels like a small act of self-care, whether you're starting your morning or winding down in the evening. That optional lemon slice on the rim makes it look effortlessly put-together, too.
