Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff. Steeping the bags at 175°F rather than a full boil is the key move here — it keeps the tea smooth and mellow instead of bitter, so every sip is clean and light. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a lively tang that plays beautifully against the gentle sweetness of honey or sugar. The whole thing comes together in a pitcher with a handful of ice, then chills until you're ready to pour it over a tall glass and tuck in a sprig of mint. Every single ingredient is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero label-reading stress — just pure, simple refreshment. It's an ideal make-ahead drink for warm afternoons, backyard gatherings, or anytime you want something a little more special than plain water without any fuss.

Bring 4 cups of water to 175°F (80°C) in a medium saucepan — just below a simmer, with small bubbles beginning to form at the bottom. Remove from heat.
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.
