Low Sodium Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff. Steeping the bags at 175°F rather than a rolling boil is the key move here — it coaxes out the tea's delicate, grassy sweetness without any of that bitter edge. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice lifts the whole thing, and a touch of honey rounds it out into something that tastes carefully balanced without requiring much effort at all. Because you're building it from scratch with just a handful of clean ingredients, there's no need to scan a label for hidden sodium or mystery additives — what you see is exactly what ends up in your glass. Optional mint and lemon slices make it feel a little fancy, whether you're serving guests or just treating yourself on a warm afternoon. Make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge; it only gets better as it chills.
