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. Steeped at a careful 175°F rather than a rolling boil, the tea stays smooth and bright without any of that bitter edge that can ruin a cold glass. Fresh lemon juice adds a clean tartness that balances beautifully against the honey or sugar, and the result is a drink that tastes far more considered than its short ingredient list suggests. Every single component here is naturally free from lupin — no flours, no additives, no processed blends to second-guess — so you can sip without scanning labels. A handful of ice cubes chills it down quickly, and optional mint and lemon slices make it look like something you'd pay too much for at a café. It's equally at home alongside a summer lunch or just on its own on a warm afternoon.

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.
