Crisp, bright, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that feels like a reward on a warm afternoon. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means scrutinizing every label and second-guessing packaged beverages that sneak in flavorings, additives, or trigger ingredients — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just a handful of clean, straightforward components. Green tea, fresh lemon juice, honey or sugar, and water are all you need, so you know exactly what's going into every glass. Steeping the tea at a lower temperature keeps the flavor smooth and mellow rather than bitter, which makes it easier to enjoy without any harsh aftertaste. A splash of fresh lemon juice adds a gentle brightness that balances the natural earthiness of the tea beautifully. Serve it over ice with a few lemon slices and mint sprigs for a drink that looks as good as it tastes — no specialty store run required.
