Crisp, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff. Every ingredient here — green tea, fresh lemon juice, honey or sugar, and water — is naturally free of iodine-rich additives, so there's no label-scanning required. Managing iodine intake can feel restrictive, especially when packaged beverages often sneak in unexpected additives or dyes, but this one is as clean and straightforward as it gets. Steeping the tea at a lower temperature keeps the flavor smooth and mellow rather than bitter, and the fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy lift that ties everything together beautifully. A little honey or sugar rounds out the acidity just enough without overpowering the delicate green tea notes. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint if you want something that looks as good as it tastes — perfect for a warm afternoon or alongside a light meal.

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.
