Citric Acid Free Iced Green Tea with Mint & Ginger

Cooling, fragrant, and genuinely refreshing, this iced green tea is built around layers of flavor that come together beautifully — grassy tea, warming ginger, floral honey, and bright mint. For anyone avoiding citric acid, finding a ready-made bottled tea or flavored drink at the store is nearly impossible without running into citric acid as a preservative or flavor enhancer, so brewing your own is the obvious move. Every ingredient here is naturally free of it, and the honey adds gentle sweetness without any of the additives you'd find in commercial syrups or mixes. Steeping the tea at 175°F rather than a rolling boil is a small but important step — it keeps the green tea smooth and mellow instead of harsh or astringent. The ginger and mint steep right in the hot liquid, so their flavor infuses deeply before being strained out, leaving you with a clean, aromatic base. Lemon wedges are offered on the side as a completely optional garnish, which is a thoughtful touch for anyone who needs to skip them entirely. This is the kind of drink you'll want to keep in the fridge all week.
