MSG Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

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. Store-bought teas and flavored drinks are notorious for sneaking in additives and flavor enhancers, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to know exactly what's in your glass. The key here is brewing the tea at the right temperature — 175°F keeps the flavor bright and smooth without the bitterness that comes from boiling water. A little honey or sugar and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice round everything out into something that tastes far more special than its short ingredient list suggests. Letting the tea cool slowly over ice before chilling it in the fridge gives you a perfectly balanced, not-too-diluted result. Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint and it looks as good as it tastes — no fancy equipment or additives required.
