Crisp, citrusy, and endlessly refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff. Every ingredient here is naturally free from animal proteins, so there's absolutely nothing to second-guess — just clean, simple flavors you can feel good about. Steeping the tea at a lower temperature keeps it smooth and bright rather than bitter, and the fresh lemon juice adds a lively zing that balances the gentle sweetness of honey or sugar perfectly. It comes together in one pitcher with minimal effort, and the hardest part is honestly just waiting for it to chill. Garnish with a few mint sprigs and lemon slices and it looks like something you'd order at a nice café. Whether you're managing a red meat allergy or just cooking for someone who is, this is the kind of recipe that fits seamlessly into any gathering without anyone feeling like they're missing out.

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.
