Ingredients

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)
1 tsp raw honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than 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.
