Seed Oil Free Green Tea with Honey and Lemon

Warm, bright, and quietly restorative, this simple cup hits that sweet spot between grassy green tea, tart citrus, and floral honey. Every ingredient here is exactly what it sounds like — no refined oils, no emulsifiers, no mystery additives hiding in a flavored blend. That matters more than you might think, because plenty of bottled teas and commercial honey-lemon drinks sneak in seed-based oils or oil-derived flavorings to extend shelf life or improve texture. Here, it's just tea, water, lemon, and raw honey, full stop. The technique is worth paying attention to, too — steeping at 175–185°F rather than a rolling boil keeps the flavor clean and slightly sweet rather than astringent, so the honey and lemon can actually shine. A thin lemon slice on the rim makes it feel like something you'd order at a nice café, even though it comes together in under five minutes at home.
