Emulsifier Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Crisp, bright, and endlessly refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff. Many commercial iced teas and lemonade blends rely on emulsifiers and stabilizers to achieve that smooth, shelf-stable consistency — none of which have any place here. Every ingredient in this recipe is exactly what it says it is: water, tea, a touch of sweetener, and real lemon juice squeezed fresh. Steeping the tea at a lower temperature keeps it from turning bitter, so the flavor stays clean and delicate rather than harsh. The honey or sugar dissolves right into the warm tea, and the lemon juice adds a sunny tartness that ties everything together beautifully. Garnished with mint and lemon slices, it looks just as good as it tastes — perfect for a hot afternoon or whenever you want something genuinely simple and pure in your glass.
