Pistachio Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Bright, citrusy, and refreshingly light, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. The key to a smooth, non-bitter cup is steeping the bags at the right temperature — just below a simmer — so the tea stays delicate and golden-green rather than harsh or astringent. A touch of honey or sugar balances the natural grassiness of the green tea, while fresh lemon juice adds a clean, zippy lift that makes every sip feel lively. Because this is made entirely from scratch with simple pantry staples, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass — no mystery blends, no flavored syrups, no shared-facility concerns. Garnished with lemon slices and fresh mint, it looks gorgeous in a glass and tastes like something you'd pay too much for at a café. It's easy enough to batch ahead and keep chilled in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.
