High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Crisp, bright, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a bottle in the first place. So many store-bought teas and lemonades are loaded with high fructose corn syrup hiding behind vague "natural flavors" on the label — making it nearly impossible to know what you're actually drinking. Here, the sweetness comes from honey or plain granulated sugar, and the citrus punch is all fresh-squeezed lemon juice, so every ingredient is exactly what it says it is. Steeping the tea at 175°F rather than a rolling boil is a small but important step — it keeps the green tea smooth and mellow instead of bitter, which means you need less sweetener to balance it out. A slow chill over ice lets the flavors settle into something clean and cohesive, and the optional lemon slices and fresh mint make it feel genuinely special without any extra effort. It's the perfect pitcher to keep in the fridge all week long.
