This refreshing iced tea is exactly what you want on a warm afternoon — bright, lightly floral, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. Steeping the green tea at 175°F rather than a full boil is the key move here, keeping the flavor clean and smooth instead of harsh or astringent. Fresh ginger adds a gentle warmth that plays beautifully against the cool mint, and a touch of honey ties everything together without overpowering the delicate tea base. Every single ingredient in this drink is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-checking required — just simple, wholesome stuff you likely already have on hand. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the whole glass and makes it feel almost spa-like. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive enough to serve to guests but comes together with almost no effort at all.

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.
