Celery Free Iced Green Tea with Mint & Ginger
This refreshing iced tea is everything you want on a warm day — bright, lightly floral, and just a little spicy from the fresh ginger. The green tea is steeped at a careful lower temperature to keep it smooth and mellow, while honey adds a gentle sweetness that plays beautifully against the cool mint. It's the kind of drink that feels far more sophisticated than the effort involved. Every ingredient here is naturally free from celery and celery derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just clean, simple flavors working together. A squeeze of lemon at the end lifts the whole glass and makes it feel almost like something you'd order at a nice café. Make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge; it's just as good an hour later as it is fresh.
