Vegetarian Iced Green Tea with Lemon

There is something deeply refreshing about a glass of iced green tea made properly at home, and this version delivers that clean, lightly sweet flavor that store-bought bottles rarely get right. The key here is temperature — steeping the bags in water just below a simmer coaxes out the tea's delicate, grassy notes without the bitterness that comes from boiling water. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the whole drink, while honey or sugar rounds out any sharpness into something genuinely craveable. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally plant-based, so there's no label-checking or substitution needed — it just works. Optional mint sprigs and lemon slices make it feel like something you'd order at a nice café, but it comes together in your own kitchen with almost no effort. Keep a pitcher in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
