Xanthan Gum Free Iced Green Tea with Lemon

Crisp, refreshing, and naturally free of any thickeners or stabilizers, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly manageable. Green tea is steeped at a careful lower temperature to coax out its delicate, grassy sweetness without any bitterness — a small detail that makes a big difference in the final glass. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens everything up, while honey or sugar rounds out the flavor just enough to keep it balanced rather than tart. So many bottled teas and flavored drinks sneak in additives and gums you'd never expect, but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward. The result is a beautifully pale golden-green drink that looks as good as it tastes, especially garnished with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint. It's the kind of recipe you'll want to keep on rotation all summer long.
