Bright, cooling, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is built entirely from real ingredients you can see and smell — fresh ginger, mint leaves, honey, and quality tea bags. If you've ever flipped over a bottle of store-bought iced tea and squinted at a list of dyes and "natural flavors," this is the antidote. Every sip gets its color from the tea itself and its sweetness from a spoonful of honey, nothing artificial required. The ginger adds a gentle warmth that plays beautifully against the cool mint, making this feel far more sophisticated than a simple glass of iced tea has any right to. Steeping the tea at just below a simmer is the key move here — it coaxes out the best flavor without any bitterness. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the whole thing and makes it feel like something you'd pay too much for at a café. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week.

Bring 4 cups of water to 175°F (80°C) in a medium saucepan — just below a simmer, with small bubbles beginning to form at the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat.
Add the tea bags and sliced ginger to the hot water. Steep for 3 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags. Do not steep longer, as the tea will turn bitter.
