For anyone managing oral allergy syndrome, finding refreshing drinks that don't trigger that telltale mouth tingling can feel limiting — especially when so many beverages rely on raw fruits or fresh-pressed juices in ways that cause problems. This iced green tea keeps things beautifully simple, leaning on just a handful of clean, straightforward ingredients that are easy to trust. The lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy lift without overwhelming the delicate grassy notes of the green tea, and the honey or sugar rounds everything out into something genuinely craveable. Steeping the tea at a lower temperature — just below a simmer — protects the flavor and keeps the brew smooth rather than bitter. Everything gets chilled down with ice before serving, so you end up with a cool, crisp glass that feels like a treat rather than a compromise. Garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of mint if you like a little extra flair, and you've got a drink that's as pretty as it is refreshing.
