1 serving
- 1 green tea bag (or 1 tsp loose-leaf green tea)
- 8 oz filtered water
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about ½ lemon)
Ingredient noteLow Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lemon juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp raw honey
For serving
- 1 thin lemon slice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
- 1
Heat the water in a kettle or small saucepan until it reaches 175–185°F (79–85°C) — just below a full boil, with small bubbles beginning to rise from the bottom. Avoid a rolling boil, which can make green tea taste bitter.
- 2
Place the tea bag in a mug and pour the hot water over it. Steep for 2–3 minutes, until the tea is a clear pale gold-green.
