Sesame Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Bright, citrusy, and refreshing, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. The combination of delicate green tea and fresh lemon juice creates a balance that's light without being bland, and a touch of honey or sugar rounds everything out beautifully. Green tea is naturally free of sesame in any form, and every ingredient here — from the lemon juice to the ice — is clean and straightforward, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden allergens. One key trick is steeping the bags at 175°F rather than a full boil, which keeps the tea smooth and mellow instead of bitter. Letting the ice do the initial cooling before refrigerating means you get a properly chilled pitcher without diluting the flavor. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint if you want to make it feel a little more special — it's an effortless touch that goes a long way.
