This refreshing iced tea is everything you want on a warm day — bright, lightly floral, and just sweet enough without being cloying. Fresh ginger adds a gentle warmth that plays beautifully against the cool mint, while a touch of honey rounds out the flavor without overpowering the delicate green tea. The key to getting it right is temperature control: steeping at 175°F keeps the tea smooth and clean, avoiding the bitterness that comes from boiling water. Everything here is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden fillers sneaking into your glass. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the whole thing and makes it feel almost like something you'd order at a fancy café. It's simple enough to throw together on a weeknight but impressive enough to serve to guests.

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.
