Crisp, citrusy, and naturally refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. Every ingredient here is completely dairy-free by nature, so there's no swapping or substituting required — it just works, straight from the recipe. The key to getting that clean, delicate flavor is steeping the tea at the right temperature, around 175°F, which keeps the green tea from turning bitter or harsh. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the whole thing up, while honey or sugar adds just enough sweetness to balance it out. Pouring the brewed tea over ice in the pitcher lets it cool gradually, which helps the flavors meld beautifully before it hits the fridge. Garnish with lemon slices and a few sprigs of fresh mint for a glass that looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of simple, wholesome drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of all week long.

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.
