Xanthan Gum Free Green Tea with Honey and Lemon

Warm, bright, and quietly soothing, this mug of green tea is the kind of simple pleasure that feels like a small act of self-care. The combination of floral green tea, tart lemon juice, and raw honey creates a balance that's refreshing without being fussy. Many packaged teas, flavored blends, and bottled wellness drinks sneak in thickeners or stabilizers you'd never expect — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just four clean, whole ingredients. Brewing at the right temperature is the real secret here: keeping the water just below a boil pulls out the tea's delicate grassy sweetness instead of the bitterness that a full rolling boil would bring. The honey dissolves beautifully into the warm liquid, rounding out the citrus without overpowering it. It comes together in just a few minutes and is exactly the kind of no-fuss, feel-good drink you'll want to make on repeat.
