Bright, citrusy, and refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. Green tea is naturally free of gluten, and every ingredient here — from the honey to the fresh lemon juice — is clean and straightforward, so there's no label-reading stress involved. The key to a smooth, non-bitter brew is steeping at the right temperature, just below a simmer, which keeps the delicate grassy notes of the tea intact. A touch of sweetener balances the tartness of the lemon without overwhelming the drink's light, floral character. Straining the tea before adding the lemon juice gives you a crystal-clear pour that looks just as good as it tastes. Garnished with fresh mint and lemon slices, it's the kind of thing you'd happily serve at a summer gathering or just sip quietly on the porch.

Add the tea bags and steep for 2–3 minutes, until the tea is a pale golden-green. Remove and discard the bags without squeezing them.
