MSG Free Green Tea with Honey and Lemon

This simple, soothing cup is proof that the best drinks don't need a long ingredient list. Green tea steeped at just the right temperature — below a rolling boil — stays smooth and slightly grassy rather than turning sharp or astringent, and a squeeze of fresh lemon brightens the whole thing beautifully. Raw honey melts right in and adds a gentle floral sweetness that feels far more satisfying than anything from a packet. For anyone avoiding flavor enhancers and additives, this recipe is a natural fit — every single ingredient is exactly what it says it is, nothing hidden, nothing processed. Store-bought flavored teas and bottled lemon drinks can be surprisingly tricky, often relying on "natural flavors" that aren't always as clean as they sound. Making it yourself takes about five minutes and gives you total control over what goes into your mug. It's the kind of drink you'll want to come back to every morning.
