Pork Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

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 rolling boil is the key move here — it coaxes out a clean, grassy sweetness without any of that bitter edge that can ruin a glass. A spoonful of honey or sugar and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice round everything out into something that tastes far more polished than the handful of ingredients would suggest. Every component in this recipe is naturally free of any pork-derived additives or gelatin-based clarifiers, so there's nothing to second-guess on the label. It's an effortless pitcher drink that works just as well for a quiet afternoon as it does for a backyard gathering, especially when you finish each glass with a sprig of mint and a bright lemon slice. Make a big batch, keep it in the fridge, and it's ready whenever the craving hits.
