BHA & BHT Free Iced Green Tea with Mint & Ginger

This iced green tea is the kind of drink that feels genuinely refreshing — bright, lightly sweet, and layered with the warmth of ginger and the cool lift of fresh mint. It's the sort of thing you'd expect to pay too much for at a café, but it comes together beautifully at home with just a handful of clean, whole ingredients. For anyone avoiding synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT, store-bought bottled teas and flavored drinks can be a minefield of additives hiding in plain sight on the label. Here, every ingredient is exactly what it says it is — real ginger, real mint, honey, and good green tea steeped at the right temperature so it stays smooth and never bitter. The technique matters: pulling the water just below a simmer and keeping the steep time to three minutes protects the delicate flavor of the tea, while the mint gets its own gentle infusion afterward for maximum fragrance. A squeeze of lemon at the end ties everything together with a little brightness. Make a pitcher, keep it cold, and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week.
