Brazil Nut Free Iced Green Tea with Mint & Ginger
This refreshing iced tea is everything you want on a warm day — bright, lightly floral, and just sweet enough without being cloying. Fresh ginger brings a gentle heat that plays beautifully against the cool mint, while honey rounds out the green tea's natural grassiness into something genuinely craveable. The key to getting it right is keeping the water temperature just below a boil, which prevents that bitter edge that can ruin a good green tea. Everything here is clean, simple, and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind — no label-scanning required. A squeeze of lemon over the glass right before serving adds a little citrus brightness that ties the whole thing together. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive in a pitcher but comes together with almost no effort at all.
