Bright, clean, and quietly comforting, this warm drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make every single morning. The trick to getting it right is temperature — heating the water to just below a boil keeps the green tea smooth and mellow instead of sharp and bitter, so every sip tastes balanced rather than harsh. Fresh lemon juice adds a little zing while raw honey brings just enough sweetness to round everything out without overpowering the delicate tea flavor. It comes together in minutes with only four simple ingredients, all of which are naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's zero label-reading stress involved. The optional lemon slice on top makes it feel a little more special, whether you're sipping solo on a slow morning or serving it to guests. It's proof that the simplest recipes are often the most satisfying.

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.
