There is something deeply refreshing about a glass of iced green tea that you made yourself, and this version with mint and ginger takes it to a whole new level. The key here is brewing the tea at the right temperature — just below a simmer — so you get a clean, grassy flavor without any bitterness creeping in. Fresh ginger adds a gentle warmth and brightness that pairs beautifully with the cool mint, while a spoonful of honey rounds everything out with just enough sweetness. It comes together in a single pitcher with no blender, no specialty equipment, and absolutely nothing to second-guess on the ingredient list. A squeeze of lemon over the top before serving makes it feel almost like something you'd order at a nice café. This is the kind of drink that works equally well for a quiet afternoon at home or as a crowd-pleasing option when you have people over.

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.
