Cool, refreshing, and genuinely good for your gut, this iced green tea is the kind of drink that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation. Green tea brings natural antioxidants and gentle digestive support, while fresh ginger — a longtime favorite for soothing the stomach — adds a subtle warmth that balances beautifully against the chill of the ice. Honey sweetens things naturally without the processed sugars that can disrupt a sensitive gut, and fresh mint rounds everything out with a clean, calming finish that aids digestion on its own. The method matters here: steeping at 175°F rather than a rolling boil keeps the tea smooth and never bitter, so every sip is easy on the palate and the digestive system alike. Straining out the ginger and mint after steeping means you get all the flavor and functional benefits without any fibrous bits that could irritate a sensitive stomach. A squeeze of lemon on the side adds a bright, optional kick that also supports healthy digestion. It's the kind of simple, intentional recipe that proves taking care of your gut doesn't have to feel like a chore.

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.
