This simple, soothing cup is proof that the best drinks don't need a long ingredient list to feel special. The key to getting it right is temperature — heating the water to just below a boil coaxes out the tea's delicate, grassy sweetness without any bitterness. Raw honey melts right in and adds a floral warmth, while fresh lemon juice brightens the whole thing with a clean citrus lift. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of fungi, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything. It's an effortless daily ritual that works as a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon reset, or a gentle wind-down before bed. That optional lemon slice on the rim makes it feel a little more intentional, like something you'd order at a quiet café.

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.
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.
